Two top Shrewsbury firms have joined forces in the town to offer
their clients a full service of "legal excellence".
Linder Myers Solicitors and Blackbourn & Bond have launched
a joint venture to ensure that all needs of their clients are met;
offering a full service of both private and commercial client
work.
Linder Myers has been active in Shrewsbury since 2008 and is
committed to offering a full range of legal services, from their
Shrewsbury offices. The venture with Blackbourn & Bond will
allow the firm to provide advice on business transactions, business
development, commercial and construction matters to clients
serviced from a Shrewsbury-based team.
Bill Jarvis ,Regional Managing Partner, said: "I have been aware
of Nick Blackbourn's excellent reputation for some time and I was
aware that our respective practices had much synergy.
"Nick and I have been in discussions for a couple of months and,
during the course of our discussions, I was aware of how committed
we both were to forming a strong alliance between our two
practices.
"Nick has been running his own business for several years and it
was felt that initially a joint venture between our respective
firms would be beneficial, with a view to a permanent association
after a trial period.
"Nick's practice will be able to take advantage of the
infrastructure provided by a large organisation such as Linder
Myers LLP but, being a very talented and highly-regarded Corporate
Lawyer, Nick gives myself and my colleagues in Shrewsbury a great
opportunity to tap into his undoubted knowledge and expertise.
"We are all very excited about the connection that has arisen
and hopefully its long-term implications for us both."
Mr Blackbourn adds: "I have been highly impressed with the
vision and leadership of Linder Myers to become a leading legal
services force within our region.
"To have an opportunity to be part of the team being assembled
here is very exciting and will undoubtedly serve our respective
clients well."
