Axiom Stone Solicitors and DWFM Beckman joined forces earlier this month to become Axiom DWFM, creating a full-service law firm with international reach to further support and service their existing and expanding client base.
The merger creates a combined team of almost 150 people, including 19 partners, located across their several offices in London and Birmingham.
The merger strengthens their already well-established offerings, providing clients with access to comprehensive legal advice across a wide range of sectors, including Real Estate, Dispute Resolution, Insolvency, Family, Employment, Corporate and Commercial and Private Client & Wealth. As well as Immigration, Personal Injury and Corporate Protection advice.
Axiom DWFM builds on its antecedent’s established reputation as a leading firm in multiple practice areas in the Legal 500, creating a more comprehensive offering. The firm will also have a strong international reach, benefitting from its membership of the International Practice Group, a global association of independent lawyers, accountants and tax advisers. In this regard, it boasts particular expertise through its India and China desks.
The merged company’s Chairman, Jonathan Metliss, said: “This merger combines the respective strengths of Axiom Stone and DWFM Beckman, providing our client base with increased expertise and international reach. This will be of significant benefit to both our clients and our enlarged team of expert lawyers.”
Senior Partner Tony Mead said: “DWFM Beckman is pleased to be merging with Axiom Stone. Our complementary practices will ensure that the firm is able to move forward into this next chapter, confident that our offering is stronger than ever.”
Managing Partner Pragnesh Modhwadia said: “Axiom Stone is delighted to be joining forces with DWFM Beckman. Our combined business offers the exciting prospect of an increasingly high-quality service for existing and future clients. This merger means we will all move forward, stronger together.”
