East Midlands firm Nelsons has announced the acquisition of family law firm Glynis Wright & Co.
Following the acquisition, due to be completed on 21 December, Glynis Wright & Co’s founder Glynis Wright (pictured) will join Nelsons’ Leicester office as a partner and head of the family law team. Seven lawyers and one trainee solicitor will join alongside her, all specialising in private family law.
Nelsons’ chief executive Stewart Vandermark said: ‘This transaction further supports our ambitious strategy to increase Nelsons’ overall turnover to £20m and underlines our aspirations in Leicester, demonstrating our commitment to and investment in the city.
‘The Glynis Wright & Co team is extremely well-regarded, and their knowledge will bolster our expertise in family law not only in Leicester, but also in the wider East Midlands region.’
Glynis added: ‘Over the years, Glynis Wright & Co has taken a lead in the Leicester market and that’s something I’ve always wanted to build on regionally and beyond.
‘Nelsons is a vibrant, dynamic and innovative company that is wanting to develop the Leicester market and become the strongest regional firm, so our ambitions match up perfectly.’
