Happiness & Positivity as Oliver & Co Solicitors becomes fully employee owned

Helen Greaney
By Helen Greaney

85 employees of Chester-based Oliver & Co Solicitors have become 100% owners of the business through an employee ownership trust and will enjoy an equal share of the firm’s profits. The move means the company has become largest law firm in North West to move to employee ownership

The former owners of Oliver & Co describe the move as a “natural progression” for the firm which will “secure the business for the future”.

Oliver & Co is the first law firm in Chester and North Wales to become employee owned and is the largest law firm in the North West of England to make the move to employee ownership.

Oliver & Co’s former owners David Owen and Kay Cook will remain with the firm in senior positions. David Owen said: “We’ve always prioritised happiness and positivity at Oliver & Co, so employee ownership was a natural progression for us.

“By selling the business to our employees we can retain that special culture and secure the business for the future. And our clients will benefit too, because if our people are happy, that is reflected in the fantastic service we give to our clients.”

Employee ownership is increasing across the UK and according to the Employee Ownership Association, companies that are employee owned, or who have a large and significant employee ownership stake, now contribute £30 billion to the UK’s GDP.

Kay Cook explains why employee ownership made sense for Oliver & Co: “Employee owned businesses tend to see higher levels of profitability and productivity, along with improved employee and customer satisfaction. Employee owned companies excel in engaging employees, who in turn drive performance and innovation.

“We’ve always encouraged colleagues to make suggestions and contribute to the way the business is run. Becoming employee owned takes that a step further and gives our people a stake in the business and an equal share in our profits, no matter what their role or seniority.”

Employee ownership is one of the fastest growing business succession solutions in the UK, where there are now more than 1,000 employee-owned businesses, with the sector more than doubling in the past three years.

The fast pace of growth amongst businesses has taken off with the use of the employee ownership trust (EOT), introduced by the government in 2014 to encourage long-term employee ownership, and one in every 20 private company sales is now to an EOT, with Oliver & CO Solicitors joining a network of EOTs in the UK that include Richer Sounds and Go Ape.

James de le Vingne, Chief Executive of the Employee Ownership Association, said: “We congratulate our members Oliver & Co Solicitors on its transition to employee ownership; securing the ethos, values, and culture of the business, as well as rooting jobs in Chester.

“Businesses that give employees a stake and a say build trust and shared responsibility, uniting leaders and employees behind a common purpose, and leaving businesses in a better position to flex and adapt.”

Oliver & Co’s employees will be eligible to become employee owners after working for the business for six months.

Oliver & Co has recently received recognition in the fields of personal injury, industrial disease and clinical negligence by being ranked in the 2023 edition of the Legal 500, the independent guide to the legal profession that is based on feedback from clients.

  122. The 12 brushes in the Sigma Beauty Essential Brush Set are made of its proprietary SigmaTech synthetic fibers, which claim to hold the right amount of product and apply with ease. Like the foundation brush from the It Cosmetics set, the foundation brush in this set looks like a paintbrush, which made it easy to build up my cream and liquid foundation in layers, but not so effective at blending. (You’ll have to follow up with the included duo fibre brush for that.) For the crease brush, I used the E40 in this set. Though this was once a highly acclaimed crease brush for beauty buffs, I found that the bristles are a bit too long and tapered to create a well-blended transition color between the lid and the brow bone.
