Oswestry Merger Drinks Reception
As many now know Lanyon Bowdler and LG Solicitors formally merged on 1 May 2010, resulting in the creation of Shropshire’s largest law firm.
Both firms have extensive pedigrees, LG Solicitors’ roots can be traced back to the 18th century and Lanyon Bowdler – formed in 1988 as a result of the merger of J C H Bowdler & Sons of Shrewsbury and Lanyons of Wellington, has a history dating back to the 19th century.
To celebrate the merger, more than 60 guests recently attended a drinks reception held at the Wynnstay Hotel in Oswestry. The early evening get-together provided an opportunity to catch up with friends, contacts and business acquaintances, and to meet new faces, whilst enjoying drinks and canapés. It also offered an ideal opportunity for those attending, to find out more about the additional services Lanyon Bowdler can provide to the businesses and residents of Oswestry and the surrounding areas. The newly merged firm sees an expansion of several key departments, particularly Commercial Property & Agriculture, Wills & Tax Planning, Family and Residential Property.
The evening’s entertainment was provided by a jazz trio fronted by Lanyon Bowdler partner and head of the private client department, Edward Rees, and the event was enjoyed by all. A talking point of the evening were the blue Lanyon Bowdler cupcakes handed to departing guests as gifts – which were much admired and proved that the fashionable little cakes are still very popular!
