“As Thrings continues to grow its national presence, we are excited to see the benefits this will bring farmers, landowners, rural businesses and private individuals in the Wye Valley and Welsh borders, who will continue to be served by the specialists at Okells FrancisLaw with the added benefit of access to the full range of services we are proud to provide.”

Andrew Morris, Senior Partner at Okells FrancisLaw, said: “Our firm has a long history and heritage in the Wye Valley and a tradition of serving agriculture and rural economy businesses, the owners of those business and the people and communities who live and work in the region.

“This merger enables our team to continue to nurture and grow the strong relationships we enjoy with our clients and referrers while strengthening the depth of our offering to the region, giving us greater resilience and creating opportunities for growth. We look forward to continuing to offer our clients the service and local knowledge they value, complemented by the range of specialisms and expertise offered by the wider Thrings firm.”
