GTC’s acquisition of Armstrong Legal is effective immediately, incorporating 18 offices throughout the Australian legal market.
GTC’s acquisition of Armstrong Legal also sees it take on 65 new employees in the areas of criminal, family and contested estates, the statement explained.
James Stevens, CEO of GTC Lawyers, described the incorporation of Armstrong Legal into GTC Lawyers as a coup for the company.
“As a law firm, we are keen to expand our level of expertise, and the acquisition of Armstrong Legal allows us to do that. It is the perfect fit.
“Not only do Armstrong Legal have an excellent reputation, and a great team of highly experienced senior staff in the very challenging areas of criminal, family and contested estates, but the move substantially increases our ability to provide higher end legal services in these areas,” Mr Stevens said.
Also commenting on the move, outgoing principal of Armstrong Legal, Peter Magee said: “GTC was the natural choice due to its shared aligned values and the synergies held between both firms”.
“We have an extensive digital marketing presence across the country, and we needed to pair up with a firm that understands how to utilise that. GTC Lawyers [has] a highly regarded legal hotline, as well as very advanced digital marketing strategies and resources, and excellent back-end systems that take full advantage of the latest technologies.
“I think all of this is essential in the modern law firm, and the staff at Armstrong’s will greatly benefit from our association with GTC. Armstrong Legal [continues] trading largely as is and will continue to offer its highly regarded services.”
