Orwins continues growth with investment in Milners and Acquisition of Roe Lawyers

Clarkslegal is pleased to share the news that Orwins, the legal services group we joined earlier this year, has announced a significant investment in Yorkshire law firm Milners and the acquisition of London-based specialist practice Roe Lawyers.

The addition of these firms further strengthens the growing Orwins group, bringing together high-quality legal teams that share a commitment to delivering exceptional client service, commercial advice and long-term relationships.

Milners is a full-service Yorkshire law firm with six partners and over 40 staff, providing services across Commercial Litigation and other areas, including Commercial Property, Residential Property, Employment, Private Client, Family and Corporate. Roe Lawyers is a specialist criminal and regulatory law firm founded by Stephanie Roe in 2015.

Orwins Continues Growth with Investment in Milners and Acquisition of Roe Lawyers

For Clarkslegal clients, the announcement further enhances the breadth of expertise available across the wider group. As part of Orwins, we continue to work closely with colleagues across the business to ensure clients can access specialist support wherever it is needed.

Dov Black, Chief Executive Officer of Orwins, commented:

“Alongside their excellent reputations, both firms demonstrate the strong cultural alignment and client-focused approach that is so important to us. We are excited about what we can achieve together.”

The acquisitions form part of Orwins’ continued growth strategy following its investments in Clarkslegal and Clarke Mairs earlier this year. Backed by Aliter Capital, Orwins now has approximately 250 staff across a growing national footprint and remains focused on creating a leading legal services business for ambitious organisations and individuals.

As always, our focus at Clarkslegal remains unchanged: providing practical, commercially focused legal advice while offering clients access to an even broader range of expertise through our relationships with the wider group.

“Both firms demonstrate the strong cultural alignment and client-focused approach that is so important to us.”
