Law firm merger boosts restructuring and insolvency offering

Birmingham law firm Harrison Clark Rickerbys (HCR) has completed its merger with London firm Sprecher Grier, a move it says will significantly boost its restructuring and insolvency offering.

HCR is a full service firm with eight offices across the country including Worcester, Cheltenham, Hereford, London, Ross-on-Wye and the Thames Valley as well as Birmingham, while Sprecher Grier has a significant restructuring and insolvency (R&I) presence in London.

The move brings former colleagues back together – Sam Payne, head of HCR’s R&I team, worked with many of the London firm’s team several years ago, especially partner Daniel Sejas.

Payne will lead the merged firm’s R&I practice, and Sejas will lead the London restructuring & insolvency practice.

Payne said: “This merger will significantly boost the continued growth of HCR’s London office and bring together two firms with excellent reputations, Sprecher Grier in the capital and HCR nationally. HCR’s London team will move into Sprecher Grier’s existing offices off Bishopsgate. For HCR, relocating into the city provides a great base for future development, giving critical mass to our offering in the capital across all services and sectors.”

Sejas added: “From Sprecher Grier’s perspective, this will enable us to continue to offer our clients our impeccable legal services, significantly strengthen the combined firms’ restructuring & insolvency offering, and also enable us to offer our clients first rate additional legal services in other areas of law needed by national and international businesses.”
