Legal sector team help secure future of longstanding Cumbrian law firm

Case study from Armstrong Watson

Background

Whitehaven-based Bleasdale & Co was established in 1920 and has a longstanding reputation in the local area. The firm’s directors Pam Thomas and Sarah De-Maine wanted to secure a deal with another firm that has similar cultural values to protect their future and strengthen the services on offer to their clients.

How we helped

The team explored the legal sector market and suggested potentially suitable firms, before making introductions and broking a deal. 

Results

Pam Thomas, Director at Bleasdale & Co Solicitors, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Bendles Solicitors. We think this will strengthen the offering to our clients in the West Cumbria area and help deliver an even better service. The fact that we cover similar areas of law will strengthen the advice and support that we can give to our clients.”
