Acquisition of a Shropshire Criminal Department and the opening of a new office in Shrewsbury.

We are pleased to announce ....

On the 1st of June 2023 we will complete the transfer of the criminal department from Shropshire Firm Lanyon Bowdler and open the doors to our new Shrewsbury office.

The acquisition will see all the Solicitors and staff within the department join our already existing criminal department currently operating from Newtown, Llanidloes and Aberystwyth. However to facilitate the additional staff, cater for the existing Shropshire and Herefordshire based clients of the department and provide all our clients with even more accessibility to Our Services we are also proud to announce the opening of the firm’s new Shrewsbury Office. New Windsor House, Oxon Business Park, Bicton Heath, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, SY3 5HJ.

Adrian Roberts, who was head of Lanyon Bowdler’s criminal department for more than 20 years, will also make the transition.

He said: “I hope this move will be welcomed by our clients because it enables us all to keep working together, albeit with a different name above the door. Richard George & Jenkins is a well respected firm and I would like to thank everyone involved for ensuring our clients will continue to receive the excellent legal support that they have come to expect from Lanyon Bowdler.”

Our senior partner, Michael Davies, said: “We are excited to announce the acquisition of Lanyon Bowdler’s criminal department, which is well established and highly thought of throughout the Shropshire and Herefordshire areas. The team we have acquired is highly experienced, professional and hardworking and we are delighted to add them to our ever expanding team. We would like to thank Lanyon Bowdler for their cooperation in getting this deal completed and both firms are committed to making sure the transfer is as smooth and seamless as possible, whilst maintaining a close working relationship moving forward.”

Brian Evans, managing partner at Lanyon Bowdler, added: “On behalf of the partners and staff at Lanyon Bowdler, I would like to thank Adrian and the team for their years of service with us, and we wish them all the very best for the future.”
