Sheffield law firms merge to expand city presence and services

The Sheffield-based firm, which employs 30 people and has been operating in the city since 1875, provides legal services for individuals and businesses.

Ironmonger Curtis, which employs five people, is a niche commercial firm, covering all aspects of commercial law, including employment, litigation and commercial property and particular expertise in working with dental practices.

The creation of Bell & Buxton Solicitors incorporating Ironmonger Curtis Solicitors aims to offer clients an extended range of legal advice in both commercial and private client arenas.

Managing partner Alex Ross said: “This merger represents an important step for our expanding presence in Sheffield and we are delighted to have found the ideal partner in Ironmonger Curtis.

“We have been looking to increase our commercial offering. We wanted to join with a firm whose business plan and culture was aligned to ours in allowing us to grow and best serve our client base, as well as being able to introduce our specialist corporate and commercial services to the many first-class companies for whom Ironmonger Curtis act and the commercial Sheffield market. “We are pleased to welcome everybody from Ironmonger Curtis to join us and look forward to working together.”

Trevor Ironmonger, co-founder of Ironmonger Curtis, added: “The merger consolidates our leading position in South Yorkshire and enables us to offer our clients a far wider range of business and personal legal services where they require it.

“We look forward to growing the new firm for the advantage of our clients and staff and are very excited about the opportunities the merger will enable.”
