David Morgan Jones Solicitors Joins Attwells

After 25 years in business, David Morgan Jones Solicitors (DMJ), based in North Hill Colchester has merged with neighbouring firm Attwells Solicitors. Attwells who have offices based in Colchester, Ipswich and London have been rapidly expanding over the last 2 years.

The two firms are perfectly matched, with both solicitor practices embracing the same aims of service, approachability and affordability in providing easily accessible legal services to their clients.

Both specialise in the same areas of law: conveyancing; private client, employment, commercial and litigation . The Firms have been working on the merger since December 2021 and it will bring 5 experienced employees to Attwells as well as the considerable experience of David Morgan Jones as a Consultant who can begin the steps to retirement.

This follows hot on the heels of Attwells’ recent acquisition of a second office in Ipswich to allow them to expand and have more room to grow and accommodate new staff. Managing Partner Nick Attwell spoke of his excitement for the Firm’s expansion; “It’s great to have been able to merge with such an established and well-respected firm that shares our values and beliefs and who are based right next to us on North Hill in Colchester. We can’t wait to welcome the team to their new office and for everyone to get fully acquainted.”

Attwells hopes that the expansion will help to create more jobs across their offices and create more opportunities for young people through their lawyer apprenticeship and training contract schemes.
