We believe Fentons is an ideal partner to move forward with our plans for strategic growth and to boost our presence in the UK. Both firms are focused on delivering high quality, affordable legal services to everyday people." Kinsella added: 'With its depth of knowledge of the legal market, and having acted for Russell Jones & Walker on the sell-side and for Slater & Gordon on the buy-side, the team is a preeminent financial advisor to the legal sector in these times of change and opportunity, particularly since the introduction of alternative business structures and the ability to access new sources of equity capital to fund attractive business models."
