Firm announces plans to acquire Gowling WLG London private client team
Forsters LLP has announced its intention to acquire the Gowling WLG London private client team.
The team, which it is planned will join Forsters on 1 May this year, includes four partners—Anthony Thompson, Catharine Bell, Nick Jacob and Daniel Ugur—as well as ten solicitors and five other members of staff.
Patrick Harney, partner and head of the private client team at Forsters, said: "This acquisition will be highly significant for Forsters, increasing the scope and reach of our private wealth services and adding to our expertise for UK domiciled and internationally based clients. There are strong synergies between our respective teams and existing client bases and this is a real opportunity to enhance Forsters' position as a market leading law firm in private client work."
Paul Roberts, managing partner at Forsters, comments: “The Gowling WLG team will be an excellent addition to our private wealth offering and to the wider firm. Our strategy of focusing on what we are good at—real estate and private client—has been successful and we have no intention of changing it. This acquisition will be another significant step in Forsters becoming recognised as a market leader in our chosen areas of excellence."
