South: Moore Blatch snaps up Richmond law firm to expand its footprint

Law firm Moore Blatch, which has offices in Southampton, Lymington, Richmond and the City of London, has acquired Richmond law firm Calvert Smith & Sutcliffe.

Established in 1917, Calvert Smith & Sutcliffe employs 25 people who will operate from its existing office in Richmond.

The purchase of Calvert Smith and Sutcliffe comes at a time of expansion for Moore Blatch across the south of England, and follows the recent announcement of their move to Chandler's Ford.

David Thompson, managing partner, Moore Blatch, commented: “Calvert Smith & Sutcliffe is a long established law firm providing professional and practical advice to individuals and businesses in West London. Their highly respected lawyers will complement our team in Richmond and across the South of England.”

Janette Davies, director, Calvert Smith & Sutcliffe, commented: “Moore Blatch shares in our values and ethos to deliver a bespoke personal service and clients will continue to receive that high level of service and expertise. The merger also means clients, whether individuals or businesses, will be able to access a wider range of specialism than before.”
