Baker Tilly’s M&A team has advised solicitors Walker Smith Way on the recent sale of their business to law firm Slater and Gordon.

Slater and Gordon has around 1,500 staff across 18 offices in the UK, whilst Chester-based Walker Smith Way has offices across the North-West and North Wales.

James Wild and Nick Wyatt from Baker Tilly Corporate Finance led the transaction which was completed last Friday, and tax advice was provided by Colin Smyth and Malcolm Cook.

Corporate Finance Partner for Baker Tilly, James Wild, said: ’This transaction represents a significant expansion for Slater & Gordon in Chester and North Wales area, and signals a new wave of M&A activity in the legal sector.

‘We were delighted to be able to advise the firm on a deal that has resulted in such a positive outcome for both businesses.’
