HCB expands with Hadens, Walsall

A Midland law firm’s expansion plans which already include the takeover of a Walsall company, will bring a boost to employment in the Black Country.

HCB Solicitors, based in Solihull, recently merged with Walsall-based solicitors Hadens and are looking to acquire other law firms in the Black Country.

In the past three years HCB has taken over companies in Redditch, Alcester and Lichfield and opened offices in Stratford-upon-Avon and Harborne in Birmingham.

And each move has meant an increase in employment.

The acquisition of Hadens has brought another move  - re-location into new prestigious offices in Lichfield Street, Walsall.

Mike Gahan, managing partner at HCB, said: “We needed more space for our Walsall operation which we hope will be the spearhead of further moves into the Black Country.

“With every move we have made there has been a need to take on more staff from the local area, so as we broaden our reach in the Black Country we will no doubt be taking on more employees.

“Manufacturing is still a core sector in the Black Country and Hadens have specialists in employment and company laws in that field.

“The new offices in Lichfield Street suit our brand well and provide a good base for the legal services we offer in both commercial and private law”.
