Indy lawyers merge into £12m firm
Two of the Midlands independent legal firms, The Wilkes Partnership (Birmingham and Solihull) and Coley & Tilley, have merged. The merger has resulted in a 185-employee
company with a turnover of £12m a year. Wilkes has offices in Birmingham and Solihull,
and Coley & Tilley was based in Waterloo Street, in Birmingham city centre. The personal injury team will stay under the
Coley & Tilley brand, due to it being recognised as a market leader in this field in the Midlands. Nigel Wood, senior partner at The Wilkes
Partnership, said: “This merger continues the long-term growth plans that we have for the firm and by joining with Coley & Tilley we have added considerable legal experience. We want to provide the best quality legal services to clients and through this merger we are doing that.”

Wilkes and Coley & Tilley and one that provides fresh opportunities to expand and grow together.”
