Lanyon Bowdler Expands into Hereford
Shropshire’s largest law firm, Lanyon Bowdler is looking forward to the prospect of consolidating its position in the region, with the acquisition of Hereford solicitors Lewis & Co. Partner Peter Lewis heads the office, conveniently situated on King Street in the heart of the city. The legal services on offer are being expanded to include agricultural expertise, complementing the firm’s position as the NFU’s panel solicitors.
Commenting on the recent developments, Peter Lewis says “These are very exciting times and I am delighted to now be a part of Lanyon Bowdler. I have known the firm for a long time and have always found the lawyers to be straight talking, reliable and practical – precisely the type of people I know my much valued clients would appreciate, and it provides them with the opportunity of an expanded range of services.”
The Hereford expansion follows the merger earlier this year with Oswestry based L G Solicitors. With offices throughout the region, the very best legal advice is conveniently available to everyone.
Managing Partner David Battisby said, “This most recent expansion is a superb opportunity for Lanyon Bowdler and we are looking forward to meeting and working with businesses and private individuals in and around Hereford.”
Despite a struggling economy, the firm has seen expansion in several departments during the past 12 months. The growing reputation of the firm’s Clinical Negligence Department, led by Paula Nash, has resulted in an increase in work and solicitor Lucy Small has recently been recruited. Lucy joins the firm from Worcestershire based Harrison Clarke, with extensive experience in both Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence work, she will provide expert legal advice from the Ludlow office.
