Legacy Firms
A number of Shropshire Law firms had merged or been acquired by other companies over the last few years. These include Turnbull Garrard Solicitors, Moss & Poulson Solicitors, Scott Lister Solicitors which were acquired by Linder Myers Solicitors. Linder Myers was itself acquired by Metamorph as was Terry Jones Solicitors.
This follows the closure of Metamorph by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (‘SRA’) in December 2022. This is called an intervention.
Gordons LLP of 1 New Augustus Street, Bradford, BD1 5LL have been appointed to help the SRA with the closure of Metamorph. Gordons LLP are the SRA’s Intervention Agent.
What does this mean?
There is nothing for you to worry about. If you were a client of Metamorph (trading as Terry Jones solicitors in Shropshire) or a former client of any of the other firms mentioned above it can no longer act for you but Ashton & Co will be delighted to do so.
