Law Firm Expands With Merger

 

Chester le Street law firm Gordon Brown Associates and Newcastle-based Jonathon Stokes (Solicitors) have agreed a merger which will expand the reach of both firms.

The merger, which will be effective from January 1, 2008, will see the Gordon Brown Associates name remain and give the firm a presence in Newcastle, having moved into the Sunderland market in 2005.

Jonathon Stokes has been operating his own firm from offices in Mosley Street, Newcastle for 12 months, having established himself as a specialist employment lawyer in the region and been a partner at Mincoffs.

The merger brings employment law experience and a new business model for dispute resolution to the already extensive portfolio of services offered by the firm.

Gordon Brown, senior partner at Gordon Brown Associates, said: “The merger is great news for our clients, and we welcome a partner of Jonathon’s stature.  Gordon Brown Associates has expanded through acquisitions, mergers and organic growth in recent years and this move brings many benefits.

“The merger gives the new firm a base in the Newcastle market, which we look forward to developing and adds a specialist employment lawyer to our team of experts.

Jonathon Stokes added: “I am coming together with a forward-thinking firm which has become a major player across the North East.

“We are boosting the commercial services of Gordon Brown Associates by adding a further specialism to the commercial litigation department. This will make the firm an increasingly attractive option for people from across Tyneside, County Durham and Wearside.”
