Under the terms of the deal, the new firm – which will employ more than 150 staff – will be known as Seddons GSC LLP.

It will operate from Seddons’ Fitzrovia offices, with GSC Solicitors’ partners becoming partners in the merged firm.

Simon said: “The merger is exciting news for our people and clients.

“It strengthens our combined offering and provides the perfect platform for future growth.” 

Saleem added: “This marks an exciting new chapter.

“Our firms have a deep-rooted commitment to excellence, innovation and client service, making this partnership a natural fit.”
