Legal sector team help secure disposal of niche family law firm
Case study from Armstrong Watson
Background
Sheffield-based Acclaimed Family Law is a niche law firm specialising exclusively in private divorce and family law matters, growing to a team of 11 people since being founded by owner Michelle Cooper. Michelle had an eye on the future and wanted to benefit from the value she had built in the firm, whilst protecting the team and clients. She contacted Armstrong Watson for support in exploring, broking, managing and advising on the entire process.
How we helped
Legal Sector Partner Andy Poole and his team supported Michelle by arranging and securing an acquisition of the business by Sills & Betteridge Solicitors, a larger firm with similar values that had made previous acquisitions and is looking for more.
Results
Ultimately, a deal has been completed for Michelle to sell her business, providing value whilst ensuring the firm’s future success. The new venture ensures Michelle’s team and clients are looked after in a similar way that they had become used to and maintains the brand of Acclaimed Family Law.
