Charles Russell and Speechly Bircham to merge
updated on 18 July 2014
The partnerships of Charles Russell and Speechly Bircham have voted to merge their two firms.
Once the merger takes effect on 1 November 2014, the merged firm will be called Charles Russell Speechlys LLP and will have a turnover of £135 million. As reported by The Lawyer, the firm will retain its US, Caribbean and African networks, and boast eight offices across Europe, the Middle East and Asia in addition to its London headquarters, with its practice areas split into four key sectors - real estate and construction, litigation, business services and private client.
Christopher Page, Charles Russell’s managing partner, said: "One of the many things we share with Speechly Bircham is our reading of private wealth in the fullest sense of that term. The beauty of the new combination is that it gives us real scale - and the ability to invest - across our practice groups."
