Andrew Grech (pictured), the managing director of publicly listed Australian firm Slater & Gordon (S&G), has pledged to take full advantage of the UK’s legal market reforms to make S&G’s recently acquired UK arm the leading consumer law brand.

S&G signalled its intention to break into the UK legal market in January 2012, when it announced its acquisition of UK personal injury specialists Russell Jones & Walker (RJW) for £53.8m.
