Scottish outfit Brodies just scooped up Leeds-based Barton Legal to beef up their construction practice and plant a flag outside London for the first time. Bill Barton brings his entire eight-person crew with him after running the shop since 2007, and the guy has been grinding in construction law for over three decades while bouncing between DLA Piper and Walker Morris before going solo. Managing partner Stephen Goldie said they keep picking up more northern England construction clients, so absorbing Barton made sense for expanding their contentious and non-contentious teams.
Barton posted on social media about how stoked he was to join a firm that actually cares about people while still being hungry to grow. The move gives Brodies six UK offices after they already opened in Abu Dhabi a couple of years back, though they lost both partners there to Clyde & Co pretty quickly.
