Higgs LLP has acquired family-owned McKenzie Law in the next step in its growth journey and which supports its mission to be the UK’s go-to legal partner for owner-managed businesses and the people and families who build and run them. Together, we’ll offer even stronger support to our clients and business partners across the UK.
Higgs CEO, Nick Taylor said: “Acquiring McKenzie Law makes complete strategic sense for us – we are aligned on all our values and support our clients in the same way. Niels and Vicki have built a formidable reputation in Shrewsbury, and we are thrilled to be working with them. They have an excellent track record for client service, something which we have built our legacy on and will not compromise. Our wider multi-regional offering enables us to support owner-managers and their families with the full spectrum of legal services.”
Niels McKenzie shared his delight and commented on the deal: ”As a smaller, well-established firm, we know that we can’t stand still – we are very proud of our roots in Shrewsbury and of what we have built over the last 19 years with loyal colleagues and clients. Our clients know they can rely on us to support them, and that’s why so many have given us repeat business and referred others to us. Higgs has an unwavering reputation for the same level of client service, and our values are aligned so this partnership is a logical one for us. We have worked with some of the Higgs team over the years when our clients have required certain specialist services, like contentious probate, and we have every confidence in the team we’re joining. We are now able to offer the full range of business and personal legal services to our clients, and we are very excited for what the future holds. We appreciate all the positive feedback we’ve received so far about our alliance with Higgs.”
