Liverpool law firms work together

LIVERPOOL law firm Gregory Abrams Davidson LLP (GAD) has announced a tie-up with Stephen D Brine Solicitors.

Stephen D Brine will retain its branding and become a trading name of GAD, while Mr Brine will work as a consultant, but both parties say it is not a merger.

Mr Brine, a conveyancing specialist, runs his practice from an office in Allerton Road, a short distance from one of the four GAD offices.

Senior partner Gregory Abrams said: “Both Stephen and I are genuinely excited about working together. There has been a substantial amount of goodwill developed over the last two decades between both businesses and we’d like to take this opportunity of publicly welcoming Stephen on board along with all of his experience and knowledge of conveyancing and property law.

“His reputation amongst industry colleagues and clients will give us a further competitive advantage in the market in 2015.”

Mr Brine said: “I am looking forward to Stephen D Brine Solicitors being able to benefit from a larger resource in terms of the additional team GAD has. Current legal regulations make it harder to run a small firm in 2015 but overwhelmingly, joining as the trading name of GAD is the culmination of many years working together, paricularly alongside Gregory Abrams. Both firms have a huge amount of respect for each other and the move is a natural progression, given our history and working relationship.”

GAD has also recruited Garry Abrams, a property lawyer.
