A growing West Midlands law firm has expanded again with its latest buyout deal.
Talbots Law has acquired Tinsdills Solicitors in an undisclosed deal, expanding its presence in Cheshire and north Staffordshire.
The deal will see around 85 staff join Talbots Law, with offices in Leek, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Sandbach and Stoke-on-Trent becoming part of its network of offices spanning the Black Country, Birmingham, Coventry, Shropshire and Worcestershire.
Founded in 1828, it now has more than 500 staff located in 19 offices across and last year acquired Worcester practice Scaiff.

Chief executive Dave Hodgetts said: "Since becoming an employee-owned trust in 2021, we've been focused on both organic and acquisitive growth to accelerate our presence.
"This deal takes our combined turnover to over £40 million and expands our footprint to 19 offices.
"North Staffordshire and Cheshire have long been target areas for us and there are few firms as respected as Tinsdills Solicitors whose roots date back to 1580.
"The decision to join forces was easy - our values align and we share a deep commitment to supporting local people and businesses. As an employee-owned business, every member of our team has a stake in our success.
"Welcoming the Tinsdills team into our employee ownership model means we're not just growing - we're growing together."
Tinsdills Solicitors' chairman Peter Hamilton added: "We're excited to be joining Talbots Law.
"While our name will retire, this move allows us to build on our legacy and embrace new opportunities for growth and enhanced client service."
