Colin has been involved in providing assistance to the legal services market since 1997 and in that time facilitated and brokered mergers between law firms (including the creation of a top 100 firm), sourced several acquisitions of specialist practices for larger firms and bolted on tens of millions of pounds worth of client turnover through executive search projects resulting in the recruitment of partners from all sorts of different law firms. This has included working in disciplines as varied as (but not limited to) Private Client Tax, Aviation Finance, Pensions, Corporate Finance and Employment Law.

Ortus was formed in 2004 and worked exclusively in the legal market until 2008 when there was a merger with Boston Bailey, run by Justin Hodgin meaning Ortus now provides the same range of services to the accountancy sector. We are now working together under the Ortus Group banner and creating a huge amount of cross-referred work already, not just for ourselves but our clients too.

Typical clients are larger mid-sized firms seeking growth through merger, acquisition or lateral hiring and smaller specialist practices looking to link up with larger firms as well as partners with a client book seeking an exit strategy.
