Edinburgh-based Shakespeare Martineau has completed its merger with Bristol-headquartered GL Law – expanding its reach into the south west of England for the first time.
The deal adds more than 60 people to the team and will help take turnover at Ampa, the legal and professional services group of which it is part, to more than £100m for financial year 2022/23.
There are no redundancies as part of the merger and the firm is proactively looking to recruit talent in the Bristol market. The partners based in Bristol will drive the Shakespeare Martineau brand locally.
