Clark Brookes Turner Cary (CBTC), the law firm based in West Bromwich and Stratford-upon-Avon, has acquired the West Bromwich office of one of the Black Country’s best known legal names.
From May 2016, Millichips West Bromwich team will become part of CBTC’s West Midlands’ network increasing the total number of staff to 75 in the Black Country and Warwickshire.
The firm will be known as CBTC Millichips and will be located at Guardian House, Cronehill Linkway, West Bromwich.
The origins of Millichips go back to the 1870s and the firm was famously the practice of Sir Bert Millichip, former chairman of West Bromwich Albion and The Football Association.
CBTC managing director Richard Pinning said: “The acquisition of Millichips in West Bromwich is the next step in our plans to grow the practice in the West Midlands. We feel that this is a perfect fit in terms of client service, expertise and location.
“We are delighted to welcome Colin Viner and the former Millichips West Bromwich team to CBTC. I am confident that this merger will prove a winning combination for both clients and staff alike.”
Colin Viner, the senior partner of Millichips West Bromwich office, said: “It’s a joy to find other professionals with the same outlook as ourselves. It became clear very quickly that CBTC and ourselves have the same local, quality and service ethos.
“Our clients can look forward to continuity of service from people they already know, plus access to a wider range and depth of legal service.”
