The partnership is a natural fit for both firms, and we look forward to building on their legacy while continuing to provide a personal, high-quality service to every client.”
Tim Oxlade added:
“Having spent over 40 years in the profession, this was an important decision for us. Scrutton Bland is a firm I know well, having started my career there, and one we have worked alongside for many years. We are confident that our clients will continue to receive the same level of care and attention, alongside access to an even broader range of expertise.”
Sarah Wright commented:
“It has been a privilege to support our clients over the years, and ensuring they are in safe hands was our top priority. Scrutton Bland shares our values and commitment to client service, and we are pleased to be passing the baton to a team that will continue to look after our clients so well.”
