Accountancy firm adds legal services arm

Paul Tutin and Adam Ainsthorpe

An East Midlands accountancy firm has added a legal services arm to its practice.

Lincoln-based Streets Chartered Accountants has set up Streets Law, with Adam Aisthorpe named as managing director of the new firm.

Streets’ chairman and managing partner, Paul Tutin, said: “ “The ability to offer a multi disciplinary approach, including financial, tax, business and legal advice is becoming ever more essential. In looking to establish a law service offering we have been extremely fortunate in being able to work with Adam Aisthorpe, co founder of Streets Law.

“Adam is an astute corporate and commercial lawyer and in his role as managing director of Streets Law, we are confident he will quickly establish our dedicated and standalone legal service provision, whilst at the same time, be able to offer our clients the legal advice and support they seek. We envisage that through being able to undertake legal work for our clients and being able to service the growing demand, we will be looking at significant growth in our legal practice team.”

Aisthorpe said: “I am really excited at being able to build a new law firm practice from the ground up, one that reflects the changing needs and expectations of clients. The ability to work with colleagues from other disciplines, including accountancy, corporate finance and tax is something I am particularly looking forward to.

“Our main focus will be on corporate and commercial law, and not that of family or personal law. In due course the intention is to provide our clients with a wider offering, including employment law, litigation and real estate advice and services.”
