Grimsby’s John Barkers Solicitors has acquired two regional law firms, and remains on the acquisition trail as it bolsters services while giving itself the scale to grow.
Scunthorpe and Goole based Symes Bains Broomer and Grimsby criminal law firm Michael Culshaw & Co have been taken on, joining John Barkers as part of the newly created Humber Legal Group. The move has more than doubled staff numbers, with Symes Bains Broomer adding 57, and Michael Culshaw & Co a further five, to the original 51-strong team.
In the coming months the latter will join John Barkers at Telegraph House on Cleethorpe Road, while Syms Bains Broomer will retain its entity and locations in Park Square, Scunthorpe and the Port Office in Goole.
