Scott Rees & Co are excited to announce a significant new chapter coming for our firm early this year after the completion of its acquisition by national law firm Fletchers.
This move also marks a new phase for our team, as 97 of our fee-earners and support staff from our personal injury and medical negligence teams will join forces with the specialists in Fletchers. Our firm, founded in 1992, has long been recognised for its specialist focus on employers and public liability claims, fatal accident claims and clinical negligence.
As we continue to operate from our office here in Newton-le-Willows, managing partner Royston Smith will stay with the firm through the transition to Fletchers, and hand over to Fletchers’ Charlene Mann after completion.
Royston Smith described the deal as: “A fantastic opportunity for our people and the clients we serve. It is the right move at the right time. “
“Fletchers has the capability, access to cases, and investment support to ensure long-term growth and provide colleagues with more opportunities for career progression. It’s clear that consolidation in the personal injury sector is accelerating, and I am convinced that Fletchers will be one of the winners in this rapidly changing market.”
Peter Haden, Fletchers Group chief executive, said: “We are wholly committed to long-term growth in the personal injury sector, where Scott Rees is already well-established, and we warmly welcome our new colleagues into the group to strengthen our legal practice and build on their success.”
This acquisition represents a significant opportunity for both our team and clients. By combining our expertise with Fletcher’s extensive resources, we will offer even more exceptional legal services while we continue to deliver outstanding results for our clients.
