Avi Barr, Head of the BBS London office added:

“Over the last couple of years BBS has entered the market in London and has made a very strong impression particularly within the secured lending and property sectors.

We are confident that the acquisition of OGR Stock Denton will give us even greater depth and expertise within these areas enabling us to count ourselves within the top echelon of firms handling secured lending and property work in London.”

Richard Denton, managing partner of OGR Stock Denton said:

“Joining BBS Law, a dynamic and ambitious law firm is an exciting opportunity for our partners, staff and clients.

It increases the quality and depth of legal services we can offer. There is a great synergy between the types of work that both firms do and with the similar cultures and outlooks that we encourage.

I believe that with the combined experience and reputations of BBS and OGR Stock Denton this step is a compelling opportunity which we had no hesitation in taking.”
