Higgs snaps up Birmingham law firm to boost restructuring practice

Higgs has announced its acquisition of Lewis Onions Solicitors to bolster its restructuring and insolvency services.

The integration of Lewis Onions Solicitors into the Dudley-headquartered firm will allow Higgs to offer enhanced support to clients navigating financial challenges and restructuring processes.

Lewis Onions, founder and head of restructuring and insolvency at Lewis Onions Solicitors said: “I want to maintain the growth and future of our talented team as well as continue to offer more to our loyal client base. The Higgs brand and reputation is long established and the firm’s core values of care, legacy, experience, authenticity and, importantly, relationships sit well with me and my client base.

“I recognise the importance of this approach and so there was an immediate sharing of values. This move allows me to focus on client work and allows me to support the exciting ambitions of the Higgs team. I believe that our clients will instantly benefit from the expertise and range of services that Higgs can deliver, and our team will also benefit from the greater resources that Higgs can provide.”

Higgs Senior Partner, Nick Moxon, said: “Lewis Onions Solicitors has been a well-known and respected firm in Birmingham for over two decades, so this is a meeting of minds and alignment of ambitions. This acquisition will expand our services to clients with Lewis’s team bringing substantial restructuring and insolvency experience to supplement Lauren Hartigan-Pritchard and her team.

“At the same time, we can offer Lewis clients a full range of services from our employment, property and corporate teams that previously the team would have needed to refer elsewhere. I’m looking forward to maximising our combined potential as we come together to pool expertise and resources.”
