Two Shropshire solicitors are to join forces to create one of the county’s largest law firms.
From the July 1, Henry Lees Solicitors LLP will be incorporated within Hatchers Solicitors LLP.
Henry Lees Solicitors who have origins in Shropshire for two centuries will join forces with Hatchers Solicitors, becoming one of Shropshire’s largest leading law firms, with offices based in both Shrewsbury and Whitchurch.
Mark Munro, Partner at Henry Lees said:
“This exciting development will enable Henry Lees to provide a broader range of legal services to all our existing clients whilst continuing to provide the personal professional service upon which we have always prided ourselves.”
Mark who will continue to work at Harlescott office in Shrewsbury will also be spending time at Hatchers’ Town Centre office in Castle Street where he will head the Probate, Wills and Elderly Client Services department and work closely with the team.
David Ryder and Clive Kynaston who presently practice at Whitchurch and specialise in property law will join forces and continue to practice at Henry Lees office in Whitchurch with the new trading name Hatchers Henry Lees.
David Ryder, Partner at Henry Lees would like to assure their continuing commitment in providing an excellent quality service to all their clients.
David said:
“Both firms’ loyalty and involvement in the Shropshire community is something both companies take very seriously and in a business community where professional firms are closing down smaller offices in market towns, our roots are firmly established in Whitchurch and surrounding areas.”
Patrick, Managing Partner at Hatchers Solicitors expresses:
“We are delighted with this deal as we have a high regard for both Mark and David and all the staff at Henry Lees. We feel this is the right move to further expand our resources and offer all our clients an increased service range with highly experienced, professional staff”.
“We are very much looking forward to working closely with the staff at Henry Lees and welcome them on board”
