Two Rugby Law Firms Merge This Week

 

Brethertons LLP confirms that from 1 December 2010, Hodsons solicitors in Rugby will formally merge with Brethertons LLP. Hodsons will be incorporated with Brethertons LLP and the merged firm will be called ‘Brethertons LLP incorporating Hodsons’.

The merger brings together two well-established Rugby law firms with reputations for quality advice and service. The two firms have been practising law in Rugby for a combined period of over 275 years.

The merger between Brethertons LLP and Hodsons recognises increased opportunities both for clients and staff as the combined reputation of both firms is significant in Rugby.

Brethertons LLP has just celebrated its 200th Anniversary year in 2010 and is a firm with an award-winning and recognised reputation in many fields of private client and commercial law. Brethertons was recently recognised for the Law Society’s “Lexcel” quality mark for practice management excellence and received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Rugby Business Awards 2010 for its contribution to the local community.

Hodsons has a reputation for legal excellence and client service that goes back generations and is well known in the town for its specialist advice in Wills, Conveyancing and Family law.

The merger brings together two established and well-regarded Rugby-based law firms and the combined firm will offer an enhanced legal service to individuals and businesses in the region.

Richard Pell, Senior Partner at Brethertons LLP explains: “For Brethertons, we are delighted to welcome our Hodsons colleagues to the merged firm and look forward to working together. It is true to say that our two separate firms have been servicing the legal needs of Rugby clients for some time albeit as two separate firms. Now the bringing together of our two operations provides a greater presence in Rugby as one single law firm, and introduces to our clients a greater and deeper range of legal services in both private client law and commercial law.”

Jeffery Glenn, Managing Partner at Hodsons said: “For clients, the bringing together of Hodsons' and Brethertons' expertise is an opportunity to benefit from a greater pool of knowledge and experience that will be available to clients. We are very pleased to be merging with Brethertons at this time in our two firms’ histories.”

All employees at Hodsons are being given the opportunity to transfer to the merged firm as employees. The Hodsons premises in Rugby, Glebe House, will remain open well into 2011.
