GTC are going from strength to strength…….
Go To Court Lawyers (GTC) has confirmed it has scooped up another law firm in a move that sees it expand its employee base to more than 190 people across the country. Reports Australia Lawyers Weekly
GTC’s acquisition of Armstrong Legal is effective immediately, incorporating 18 offices throughout the Australian legal market.
According to a statement provided exclusively to Lawyers Weekly, the acquisition sees Armstrong Legal retain its branding, with the namesake falling under a trading name of Go To Court Lawyers Pty Ltd.
GTC’s acquisition of Armstrong Legal also sees it take on 65 new employees in the areas of criminal, family and contested estates, the statement explained.
James Stevens, CEO of GTC Lawyers, described the incorporation of Armstrong Legal into GTC Lawyers as a coup for the company.
“As a law firm, we are keen to expand our level of expertise, and the acquisition of Armstrong Legal allows us to do that. It is the perfect fit.
“Not only do Armstrong Legal have an excellent reputation, and a great team of highly experienced senior staff in the very challenging areas of criminal, family and contested estates, but the move substantially increases our ability to provide higher end legal services in these areas,” Mr Stevens said.
Also commenting on the move, outgoing principal of Armstrong Legal, Peter Magee said: “GTC was the natural choice due to its shared aligned values and the synergies held between both firms”.
