Brachers has acquired Gill Turner Tucker, the Kent-based firm with offices in Maidstone and Dover, in a deal completed on 31 December 2025. The acquisition follows Brachers’ partnership with Lawfront last year and marks a key step in its growth strategy.
The deal brings together two long-established Kent firms, with Gill Turner Tucker tracing its roots back more than 70 years and Brachers having 130 years’ history in the region. Clients are expected to see a seamless transition, with existing staff remaining in place and local relationships maintained.
Jo Worby, managing partner at Brachers, said the acquisition ‘reflects our shared commitment to delivering exceptional client service’ and ‘strengthens our ability to support businesses and individuals across Kent’. She added that the firm’s partnership with Lawfront had ‘enabled us to invest in growth for the benefit of our clients’.
Robert Green, partner at Gill Turner Tucker, said joining Brachers allows the firm to ‘maintain our local roots while benefiting from the resources and expertise of a larger firm’, while Lawfront chief executive Neil Lloyd described the deal as ‘a significant milestone’ that shows how ‘investment and collaboration can create exciting opportunities’.
