Greenwoods and Plexus Law will join forces this month

Business deal work handshake people

Specialist insurance law firms Greenwoods and Plexus Law have announced plans to merge, reports Insider Media.

The merger, expected to be completed this month, will see the two firms create a £90m-turnover legal practice. The two Leeds-based firms specialise in defendant insurance litigation.

As part of the planned merger, Greenwoods partner Malcolm Henké will be promoted to senior partner and join the Plexus Law executive management team along with Greenwoods partner Richard Houseago. Greenwoods’ equity partners will join Parabis Law, group company for Plexus Law.

Greenwoods senior partner Paul Parsons said: “Greenwoods has a special place in the insurance market and not just any deal would have done. The insurance market is consolidating with fewer firms emerging as a result.

“A merger with Plexus Law has given us something no other merger could – a wired-in connection to a multi-disciplinary insurance services group with insurance law at its heart. It’s a great move for us and for the future.”
