Law firm Schofield Sweeney has joined forces with historic solicitors Armitage Sykes in a move which will expand the firm’s footprint in West Yorkshire and create one of the largest private client services in the region.
The deal, for an undisclosed sum, creates a legal firm of 150 people, with offices in Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield. Combined revenues are expected to exceed £10m.
The Brighouse office of Armitage Sykes will close and staff will move to premises in Huddersfield later this year.
Chris Schofield, chairman of Schofield Sweeney, described the deal as a merger rather than a takeover because it was mutually beneficial to both firms.
