The American Lawyer reports this morning……..
An innovative U.K. law firm best known for combining legal and nonlegal business services is set to acquire a London intellectual property (IP) boutique, The American Lawyer has learned.
Fast-growing media, technology and brands specialist Wiggin, which has increased its revenue by more than 40 percent over the past two years, will complete its deal for 14-lawyer Redd on Monday for an undisclosed fee.
In what will be a busy start to the week for the firm, Wiggin will also boost its tech practice on Monday with the hire of Osborne Clarke partner and computer games expert Paul Gardner.
Wiggin CEO John Banister told The American Lawyer that the firm has been seeking to expand and broaden its existing four-partner IP practice, which focuses on online rights protection, in order to keep pace with growing client demand for its services.
