Midlands firms Shakespeares and Harvey Ingram are set to merge later this summer, in a move that will create a combined firm with revenues of around £50m.
The firms announced the merger to staff earlier today (24 May) with the planned tie-up set to go live from 1 August this year.

The deal will see the pair come together to create one fully financially integrated firm with around 815 lawyers and staff. Shakespeares reported a turnover of £29.6m for 2011-12, with Harvey Ingram understood to have revenues of around £19m.
