The move brings former colleagues back together – Sam Payne, Head of HCR’s R&I team, worked with many of the London firm’s team several years ago. Payne will lead the merged firm’s R&I practice, and Daniel Sejas will lead the London restructuring & insolvency practice.
Payne said: “This merger will significantly boost the continued growth of HCR’s London office and bring together two firms with excellent reputations, Sprecher Grier in the capital and HCR nationally. HCR’s London team will move into Sprecher Grier’s existing offices off Bishopsgate. For HCR, relocating into the City provides a great base for future development, giving critical mass to our offering in the capital across all services and sectors.”
Sejas said: “From Sprecher Grier’s perspective, this will enable us to continue to offer our clients our impeccable legal services, significantly strengthen the combined firms’ restructuring & insolvency offering, and also enable us to offer our clients first-rate additional legal services in other areas of law needed by national and international businesses.”
Sprecher Grier has a leading R&I practice, headed by Sejas, who is a tier 1 ranked leader in insolvency, ably supported by his business partner Nick Hughes and a sizeable team.
Harrison Clark Rickerbys has more than 500 employees and partners based at offices in Worcester, Cheltenham, Birmingham, Hereford, the Wye Valley, the Thames Valley, Cambridge and central London, who provide a complete spectrum of legal services to both business and private clients, regionally and nationwide.
