Ince Gordon Dadds will incorporate five law firms from the former Ince & Co global network and bring in an additional £23m ($30.2m) in revenue to the newly merged firm.
Ince & Co was acquired by Gordon Dadds for £27m in December last year. The deal was immediately followed by Ince & Co being placed into administration in a so-called pre-pack deal.
According to reports, Ince & Co’s administrators Quantuma said Ince & Co owed creditors £34m when it was sold to Gordon Dadds.
However, in a statement Ince Gordon Dadds said that former Ince offices in seven countries, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, Greece and Germany, would enter into the newly merged company from April this year.
Ince Gordon Dadds chief executive Adrian Biles said: “The integration of Ince’s London office with Gordon Dadds, to form Ince Gordon Dadds, has progressed smoothly and the commercial benefits of the larger operation are beginning to be demonstrated.
“With the expanded international group now encompassing twelve offices across seven countries and some £100m of annual revenues, I look forward to continuing this trend of growth and expansion, as we continue to offer clients an impressive breadth and depth of service both by practice area and geography.”
