Astraea, who specialise in a wide range of legal services, said that Linskills will continue to trade under their current name and founder Julian Linskill will remain very much part of the team for the foreseeable future.
Astraea Legal founder and managing partner, Nama Zarroug, commented: ‘Our aim is to build on Linskills’ exceptional reputation and take their legacy forward as part of our international practice. They have been a well-respected player in the Liverpool legal scene for over forty years and we are looking forward to be working alongside such experienced professionals.
‘Linskills will remain the trading name for all of our publicly funded work and together with our expertise in areas such as crime, property, civil litigation, family and welfare this will expand and enrich our overall offering.’
Speaking about the acquisition, Linskills founder Julian Linskill commented: ‘This marks a new era for the whole team here at Linskills. When the Astraea team approached us we were immediately impressed by their progressive approach and felt the merger would be a real meeting of minds. We are all delighted to be working alongside Nama and her team and look forward to adding further strength to our core services over the coming months.’
