Thomas Solicitors joins Hawley and Rodgers family

Hawley and Rodgers buys Thomas Solicitors from Challinors
 

Thomas Solicitors of Loughborough and Long Eaton has been in the ownership of Challinors, which recently went into administration, for three years, but has operated as a standalone brand and business during this time. Despite its parent company experiencing financial difficulties, Thomas Solicitors, which offers a full range of high street legal services, has continued to trade profitably.

Alan Mangham, managing partner at Hawley and Rodgers, an East Midlands-based full service law firm, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Thomas Solicitors to the Hawley and Rodgers family, and we’re convinced that its expertise and market knowledge will benefit not only our existing clients, but new ones too.

“As well as safeguarding 14 jobs, we see this new partnership as an unrivalled opportunity to grow and expand our wealth of skills, as well as operate in Long Eaton – a new area for us – and add strength to our offices in Loughborough, Nottingham and Bingham."
