Thames Valley: HMT advises on Pitmans acquisition of Calvert Solicitors

HMT, led by partner Andrew Thomson, undertook financial due diligence for Pitmans LLP on its acquisition of London-based law firm Calvert Solicitors LLP.

Pitmans is a leading commercial law firm providing specialist and pragmatic legal advice and services from its teams of experts to both businesses and individuals. It has recently been expanding through organic growth and Calvert is the second law firm it has acquired in the past 18 months.

Established over 20 years ago in London, Calvert is a respected law firm which services clients in creative media, architecture, construction and intellectual property.

The law specialists from the Calvert team relocated to Pitmans’ London office, including Nigel Calvert who founded the business in 1996.

John Hutchinson, Pitmans managing partner, commented: “We are delighted with the merger with Calvert. They are first rate lawyers who compliment the service Pitmans already offers. We were impressed by the help given by HMT in understating due diligence with care, thoroughness, sensitivity and efficiency.”

Thomson commented: “We were delighted to advise John and the rest of the Pitmans team on this exciting acquisition that strengthens the position of Pitmans on the London market. We look forward to working with them again in the future.”
