Sloan Solicitors, which specialises in residential property law in Wokingham, has merged with Clifton Ingram today, following a successful sale agreement.

Clifton Ingram is a full-service legal firm providing comprehensive legal counsel to individuals and businesses in the South East.

All employees at Sloan will move to Clifton Ingram's office in Wokingham.

Established in 2006 by Peter Sloan, Sloan Solicitors holds a substantial presence in the Wokingham community, specialising in property law. Peter, who is joining Clifton Ingram as a Consultant, said: “I am confident that, with our shared values of exemplary client care at an extremely important moment in their lives, and the capacity to offer a comprehensive range of legal services alongside our conveyancing expertise, this transition will prove advantageous for my clients.”

Anne Deller, Managing Partner at Clifton Ingram, added: “We are thrilled that Sloan Solicitors have joined us. Bringing together years of collective experience and shared values will undoubtedly contribute to the ongoing growth of Clifton Ingram and will further enhance the excellent legal services we have always provided to our clients throughout the Thames Valley, Surrey, and Hampshire.”

Anticipating a substantial 36 per cent increase in growth and revenue post-mergers, 2024 and beyond promises to be a thriving year for the firm. This news follows the successful integration of Bells Solicitors, one of the UK's oldest law firms, in May 2021.

Wokingham's Borough Council leader, Cllr Stephen Conway, said: “I'm delighted that two well-respected law firms in Wokingham are joining forces. Together, they provide a wide range of support to residents and local businesses.

"I look forward to the merged company expanding on the firms’ notable contribution to our community over the years which has included support of organisations such as the Wokingham Lions, and the Wokingham Winter Carnival, First Day’s Children’s Charity and Arts4Wokingham.”
