Riverview Law and DMH Stallard sign Strategic Alliance
Mon, May 13, 2013
Riverview Law, the fixed-priced legal services business, and DMH Stallard, the innovative South-East commercial law firm, have signed a strategic alliance designed to satisfy the changing legal needs of business customers. The alliance reflects the growing demand for Riverview Law's range of services including its Legal Advisory Outsourcing model which has gained traction with large businesses far quicker than expected.
The focus of this alliance will cover a variety of areas including dispute resolution, M&A and property. Prior to entering into this alliance Riverview Law and DMH Stallard carried out a number of market tests where they successfully combined their resources to win new business.
The alliance extends the Riverview Law service offerings by supplementing expertise in areas where customers are seeking support. DMH Stallard will be able to offer an extended range of services to its customers as well as benefitting from additional work from new customers. In the coming months a number of new fixed-fee services and products will be launched to the commercial market which combine the expertise of both businesses.
Karl Chapman, Chief Executive of Riverview Law, says: “From the very first meeting it became clear that DMH Stallard has, over many years, been moving in the same direction we are taking Riverview Law. After we had met all the DMH Stallard partners, it was also clear that there is a strong cultural fit. We have both reached the same conclusions, albeit from different starting points, about how legal services should be delivered to benefit customers. Signing this alliance reflects the huge potential we see in the legal market, particularly for our Legal Advisory Outsourcing solutions. This move enables us to provide businesses with a seamless end-to-end solution.”
Tim Aspinall, Managing Partner of DMH Stallard, says: “Having watched Riverview Law’s rapid progress, we approached them when it became clear they were seeking a like-minded law firm ally to help them to deliver against customer demand in some complex and specialist areas. We can support Riverview Law as it grows just as Riverview Law can help us grow faster. This relationship is good news for customers and everyone at DMH Stallard, which is why it was unanimously supported by our partners.”
