Sills & Betteridge has continued its expansion drive with the acquisition of Sheffield city centre practice Acclaimed Family Law.
Acclaimed Family Law will continue to operate under its own well-established name from Cathedral Chambers, Campo Lane in the city.
The award-winning niche firm deals exclusively with private divorce and family law matters. It will now make available to its clients the full range of personal and commercial services provided by Sills & Betteridge.
Explaining the acquisition, Sills & Betteridge chief executive Martyn Hall (pictured, right) said: “This move is a strong strategic fit both for our existing operations in Yorkshire and our ongoing investment aspirations.
“[Acclaimed Family Law director] Michelle [Cooper] and her team are dynamic and enterprising and share our service-first culture. We are delighted to have them onboard and look forward to building on the strong foundations both firms already have in the area.”
Cooper (pictured, left) commented: “We will continue to provide the exceptional service we are renowned for as Acclaimed Family law under the Sills & Betteridge umbrella so our clients will benefit from direct access to other departments, including commercial, probate and conveyancing, to provide them with an enhanced service from beginning to end, which other standalone family teams cannot offer.”
The acquisition sees Sills & Betteridge’s Yorkshire network grow to five offices since it first opened a small family practice in Doncaster in 2018.
It later acquired South Yorkshire full-service firm Bridge Sanderson Munro and Rawson Family Law, also of Sheffield, and in 2022 opened the doors to its first office in the East Riding of Yorkshire, in Howden near Hull.
