Legal and financial planning services firm Mogers Drewett is to expand its market share in both areas following its acquisition of Bath-based boutique private client practice firm Freemans Solicitors.
The move comes after founder Shaun Freeman decided to retire.
Established in 1999, single office firm Freemans Solicitors developed a specialist private client practice which was known for its exceptional client care and service.
The acquisition will strengthen full service firm Mogers Drewett’s Bath office as well as its bases in Wells and Sherborne, to grow its market share in both legal and financial planning services.
Mogers Drewett managing partner Sean McDonough, pictured, said: “Shaun has a great reputation for delivering a highly specialised and personalised service to his clients, who will now benefit from a wider range of both legal and financial services offered by Mogers Drewett and we look forward to welcoming his clients.”
Shaun Freeman added: “Mogers Drewett has an excellent private client department and is therefore perfectly equipped to ensure my clients receive the standard of care and level of expertise they need now and in the future.
“I shall retire knowing my clients are in safe hands.”
Mogers Drewett was formed in 2014 through the merger of single office Bath firm Mogers and Somerset and Dorset firm Dyne Drewett. Both companies could trace their histories back to the 19th century.
Today it employs nearly 100 people across its three offices, providing a full range of legal services for businesses and individuals.
