NBB Law, which is known for its client-focused service and specialist expertise, has announced the successful acquisition of Waldrons Solicitors, based at the Waterfront in Brierley Hill with offices across the Black Country, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire.

Announcing the news, NBB said the acquisition of Waldrons, which can trace its history back to 1867, marks a milestone in growth for NBB Law – adding that the business will remain committed to the values and standards that have defined Waldrons for generations, while also bringing new resources, expertise and innovation to ensure future success.

Clients can expect continuity in the relationships and services they rely upon, enhanced by the broader opportunities the new chapter will bring, a spokesperson for NBB said – adding that the move reflects NBB Law’s strategic vision to build a national legal practice that meets the complex, evolving needs of clients across communities and industries.

With more than 130 staff, including 70 lawyers across eight combined office locations in England, with a combined income of £8.5 million, the firm will offer clients unrivalled access to talent, cross-sector insights and innovative legal solutions.

In a joint statement, NBB Law managing director Rob Bhol and senior partner Paul Nicholls said: “This is a defining moment in our firm’s history, the acquisition of Waldrons Solicitors not only brings together two firms with highly complementary strengths, but it also marks our commitment to bringing legal services of the highest standards to local communities with a focus on agility, collaboration, and excellence.

“Taking on the custodianship of a firm established in 1867 is both a privilege and a responsibility. We deeply respect the generations of professionals whose hard work and integrity built this legacy. Our commitment is to preserve what makes the firm distinctive, to honour the trust of its clients, and to ensure that its reputation for excellence continues to grow long into the future.”

Joseph Norton, managing director at Waldrons Solicitors, added: “The team here at Waldrons are proud of what we’ve built over many decades. Joining forces with NBB Law opens new horizons for our clients and our people. This new chapter honours the legacy of our late managing director, John Roberts, whose visionary leadership for over 30 years shaped the foundation of the firm.

“The transition will bring both stability and opportunity for our people, and will also reassure our clients that the people they know and trust will remain in place. As our brand and business continues to evolve, the heritage and values of both firms will remain.”

Clients of both firms can expect a seamless transition with continued access to the lawyers and teams they trust, NBB said.

During the transaction NBB Law was represented by Muneeb Dean, of Dean Legal, and Waldrons, by a team from HCR, led by Robert Capper and supported by the seller’s agent, Andrew Roberts, of Ampersand Legal.
