Rayden Solicitors is delighted to announce a significant partnership with Fletchers Group. Fletchers Group, which owns market leading Clinical Negligence and Serious Injury practices, has acquired Rayden Solicitors in a deal which will enable the long-term growth and further expansion of the Rayden brand across the country.
The acquisition by Fletchers is a huge opportunity for the business – Rayden Solicitors will benefit from the scale of Fletchers, its investment and the strategic support of the senior leadership team. Katherine Rayden, Senior Partner and founder of Rayden Solicitors will also join the Fletchers Group Executive Committee.
Under the terms of the acquisition, Rayden Solicitors will continue to operate independently, retaining its brand and office locations. Clients will still be represented by Rayden Solicitors, will see no change in how the firm works for them and will be supported by the same trusted teams that have been at their side throughout their matter.
The investment from Fletchers Group will enable Rayden Solicitors to expand more rapidly, developing a national presence. The support of Fletchers Group, across resources, technology and infrastructure, will underpin the growth strategy of Rayden Solicitors, allowing the firm to increase market share whilst enhancing Rayden’s reputation as one of the leading specialist family law firms in England and Wales.
Katherine Rayden, Senior Partner, says “This is a fantastic opportunity for us, we are delighted to be joining forces with Fletchers Group. This acquisition will benefit both our colleagues and our clients, whilst retaining our trusted Rayden brand. We will have access to more resources and support in all areas of the business, helping us to accelerate our growth plans, and thereby augmenting our capabilities and our offering to clients. We share the same values as Fletchers – a commitment to providing the best possible results for our clients, based on industry leading expertise and first-class client care. This acquisition is the natural next stage in the growth of Rayden Solicitors.”
Charles Whelan, Partner at Polestar Corporate Finance who advised Rayden Solicitors on the acquisition, added: “Katherine and her team have built a market leading business and have ambitious plans to extend Rayden’s offering across the UK. Following a discreet process Fletchers were chosen as the most appropriate partner to help deliver on the teams’ ambitions as there is a strong alignment in both organisations’ cultural values and a shared desire to deliver the highest quality advice in their chosen fields.”
