Barker Gillette LLP and Lucas McMullan Jacobs Merge

Barker Gillette LLP and Lucas McMullan Jacobs are delighted to announce their merger as from 3 November 2014.

It became obvious from initial discussions between the Lucas McMullan Jacobs and Barker Gillette partners that there existed a synergy in the work undertaken by the two firms in the areas of commercial and residential real estate, dispute resolution and property litigation.

Separately, the firms offer client services that complement each other, including company, commercial, crime, clinical negligence, personal injury, employment, purchase and sales of developments, regulatory, serious fraud, as well as matrimonial, wills and estate planning. All services offered are partner-led.

We are on the doorstep of Oxford Circus and Bond Street and easily accessible by public transport. Come and see us today.

Contact Stuart Jacobs or James McMullan, formerly of Lucas McMullan Jacobs, for more information.
