Bournemouth-based Steele Raymond has acquired Williams Thompson, strengthening its presence in Christchurch and Dorset.

The firm is known for family, residential property and private client work. Its lawyers will join Steele Raymond’s existing teams.

Jennifer Rogerson, managing partner at Steele Raymond, said: “The addition of Williams Thompson builds on the momentum created by our Reeves James acquisition last May. Williams Thompson is a highly regarded Christchurch practice and a strong fit in terms of quality, values and client care.”

She added: “With Emma, Stephen and David joining us, we are also bringing in three senior, well respected partners with deep local relationships and a strong understanding of the Christchurch market. Together, that means clearer joined-up support for clients across the issues that often sit alongside family, property and private client matters.”

David Orr, head of private client at Williams Thompson, said: “Our clients value long-term relationships, trusted advice and local understanding. Joining Steele Raymond allows us to keep that local service and give clients deeper support across a wider range of legal needs.”

Steele Raymond will continue to serve clients from Williams Thompson’s Christchurch offices.

The value of the deal was not disclosed.
