BKL are delighted to announce their merger with the leading Cambridge firm, Ashcroft Anthony, in a move that will welcome three partners and thirteen team members to the firm, and will broaden and reinforce the service offering of both firms.
The talented Ashcroft Anthony team, headed by Dominic Anthony, Tom Gallop and Adrian Wilson, will be the first BKL base outside of London, and creates a valuable London-Cambridge connection for the combined practice, from a client service and recruitment perspective. The merger also brings together a wider tax offering for both firms, and their combined media team makes BKL a serious player in the digital media scene.
BKL are now three years into their ambitious five year growth plan, so this move runs alongside a significant expansion to the firm’s partnership table, as well as developing their services, particularly in the financial services, tax consultancy, corporate finance, media and property divisions. The firm recently won the 2015 Practice Excellence Large Firm of the Year for their excellent client service, innovative approach and breadth of knowledge & experience.
Ashcroft Anthony partner, Tom Gallop, said of the merger, “We are delighted to join forces with BKL; there is an excellent fit between the two firms. Our shared ethos and complementary expertise are great news for our clients as we will be able to broaden the services we offer, whilst maintaining the same high standards. It also means we will be able to extend our reach into wider sectors within the Cambridge market, such as property, technology and corporate finance, by working with this team of talented professionals.”
David Evans, Chairman of BKL, said; “We’re very excited by this merger. Putting two highly talented teams together enables our firm to offer a broader range of services and deeper specialisms to existing and potential clients. It also increases the opportunities for rapid career development and advancement to our people.”
This latest celebration of their growth firmly earmarks BKL as an innovative and fast-growing firm, and creates a strong brand presence for the practice in the London-Cambridge market.
