Forest
Introducing
Row
In October one of the largest law firms in Sussex just
got bigger following the our merger with P R Vince
solicitors in Forest Row.
This latest expansion follows Mayo
Wynne Baxter’s merger with Allen
Ticehurst solicitors in East Grinstead last
year and heralds the firm’s commitment
to growing its Sussex client base.
The completion of this merger means
that th e firm now has around 200 staff
across six offices in Sussex.
Previous P R Vince clients can be
assured of the same high level of
service, as the new owners have plans
to increase the areas of legal specialism
offered from this base whilst retaining
the current staff, many of whom have
been with the Forest Row firm for more
than a decade.
Mayo Wynne Baxter brings to Forest
Row an expanded range of services
including specialist areas such as clinical
negligence, mediation, agricultural
law and a full range of business legal
services to support the existing offering.
The previous owner, Peter Vince, has
agreed to stay on as a consultant to
ensure a smooth transition for clients.
Mr Vince who founded the practice in the
1970s said: “This merger is a good fit for
us and our clients. We pride ourselves on
16
the way we care for our clients and this
ethos is shared by Mayo Wynne Baxter
which has a reputation for providing
excellent client service”.
He added: “I am very much looking
forward to seeing the business flourish
further under their stewardship.”
Chris Randall, chief executive at Mayo
Wynne Baxter, said: “This merger fits
with our core strategy for growth and,
despite the difference in size there is a
great cultural match, as both firms are
committed to delivering legal services to
the highest possible standards.”
He added: “We are very pleased that
Peter Vince has agreed to stay on and
we are eager that clients know that it is
business as usual”.
This merger is
a good fit for us
and our clients
