Sintons, the North’s premier full-service law firm, has announced a significant milestone in its continued growth strategy with the acquisition of Cumbria Employment Solicitors.
This move represents the next logical step for the Newcastle-based firm, further extending its reach across the North of England and reinforcing its reputation as a regional heavyweight in the legal sector. In acquiring Cumbria’s leading niche employment practice, Sintons is not only extending its geographical footprint but also investing further in the acquisition of heavyweight legal talent.
For over 15 years, Cumbria Employment Solicitors has been the go-to firm for complex employment law in its region. By joining forces with Sintons, the firm is now able to provide all the benefits of a full-service law firm to its existing client base. The acquisition sees the highly respected Michael Bauer and his team fully integrated into the Sintons’ employment team, adding to the expertise in employment law for which Sintons is known.
Christopher Welch, Managing Partner at Sintons notes that “Sintons are in a period of sustained, strategic growth. We are delighted to bring Cumbria Employment Solicitors into the Sintons’ family. However, this isn’t just a talent acquisition; this is part of our strategic drive to expand into different geographic regions by partnering with people who have a proven track record whilst sharing our values of client excellence. This latest move, when coupled with our continued growth in the Yorkshire region means that we are bigger, stronger, and more capable than ever.”
“When I first started to speak to Michael, I was immediately struck not only by his talent as an employment lawyer but also by his passion for his clients and for the region in which he has lived and worked the majority of his career. I knew instantly that we had found people and a firm that we could work with for the benefit of all our clients.”
Michael Bauer, Partner at Sintons, commented: “Joining forces with Sintons was the natural next step for us. To continue to compete at the highest level, you need the resources and backing of a larger firm. By joining with Sintons, we are giving our existing client base access to the range of services and to the expertise in other areas of law that only a firm of this stature can provide. We now have the right platform to drive the growth of our combined business across Cumbria whilst still delivering the excellent, and personal, service for which we are known.”
