Express Solicitors continue their growth strategy in PI sector by acquiring Michael W Halsall Solicitors

Express Solicitors, a Top 100 law firm, has acquired Michael W Halsall Solicitors, in Newton-le-Willows, as part of an ambitious growth plan, which they completed on 31 October 2022.

Managing Partner at Express Solicitors, James Maxey said: “We’re delighted to have acquired such an excellent firm with a long-standing reputation of helping injured people. We look forward to welcoming the talented staff at Michael W Halsall Solicitors on-board and this will assist in our growth. We will continue to operate from their modern premises in Newton-le-Willows. The Directors Ian and Nial have done a fantastic job building up Michael W Halsall Solicitors to the level it is now”.

This acquisition adds 2500 ongoing cases and 37 more staff to Express Solicitors’ practice in personal injury law.

Michael W Halsall Solicitors has been around since 1987 and it was important for their outgoing Directors to find the right successor practice.

Ian Halsall said: “We are very pleased to find a suitable firm to look after our staff, the firm’s heritage and finding the right fit was very important to us. We are pleased to see during our dealings with Express Solicitors that they are committed to client care, staff welfare and progression and wish them every success”.

Maxey said: “An exceptional service will continue for the ex-Michael W Halsall Solicitors, now Express Solicitors’ clients, aided by a smooth integration of our Proclaim case management systems. Both IT departments and legal teams are working closely together to provide a seamless transition”.

Head of RTA at Express Solicitors, Kimberley Kirkby is taking the lead on integration and will be based partly from the Newton-le-Willows office for the foreseeable future.

During the acquisition, Express Solicitors was advised by long term corporate law firm, O’Connors Solicitors, Liverpool; with Michael W Halsall Solicitors being advised by Clarke Wilmott, Manchester.

Express Solicitors, a leading Top 100 law firm, now has over 20,000 cases thanks to its continued growth. Maxey reported that Express Solicitors were delighted to have the continued support of RBS, and are keen to look for other suitable acquisitions as they strive to become the Number 1 Claimant Personal Injury firm in the UK.
