Leading East Midlands law firm Flint Bishop has announced the
acquisition of niche legal practice Robotham & Co, one of the
city's oldest and most respected solicitors.
Robotham & Co, which has offices in St Mary's Gate in the
city, has been in existence for more than 150 years and is
currently run by the fifth generation of the Robotham family. The
practice has a strong reputation for wills, probate, trusts and
property work and has an established Derbyshire client base.
Flint Bishop has evolved over the years in order to remain at
the forefront of a changing legal marketplace; it now provides a
diverse range of legal services for both businesses and individuals
in the East Midlands and is committed to being a full service law
firm.
This acquisition reinforces Flint Bishop's capabilities in
high-value private client work with a particular emphasis on Wills,
Probate and Trusts.
Commenting on the acquisition, Ken Dixon, managing partner of
Flint Bishop, said:
"We are delighted to have completed the deal, which sees
Robotham & Co join Flint Bishop.
"The client base that Robotham's has established since opening
its Derby office in 1837 is a veritable showcase of prominent
Derbyshire families and as a result, the firm operates a large
number of family trusts, which will complement our own already
substantial team."
"Robotham's has a solid reputation for delivering quality legal
services throughout Derbyshire, so we have no plans to re-brand
them as Flint Bishop; instead we will be maintaining the firm's
independent identity and cherishing its brand name."
Nigel Green, managing partner at Robotham & Co,
added:
"This is perfect for Robotham & Co. It means that we can
become part of one of the most respected specialist wills and
trusts departments in the Midlands, as well as offer our clients a
wide range of the other specialist skills and services that are
available at Flint Bishop."
