Two law firms are merging.

Maidstone-based Gill Turner Tucker and Dover-based Bradleys Solicitors are joining their practices.

The combined business will operate under the Gill Turner Tucker brand.

Gill Turner Tucker partner, Robert Green, said: "This is an exciting moment for both firms, driven by a shared culture, values, and a commitment to a client-focused approach.

“Maureen Potts and her team provide an excellent legal service and this merger will enable us to increase the breadth and depth of our offering to clients across Kent.”

Mrs Potts was the proprietor of Bradleys Solicitors and will remain with Gill Turner Tucker as a consultant.

She said: “I am thrilled with the merger and look forward to this new chapter in Bradleys’ history.

“It is business as usual for our clients but with the added benefits that Gill Turner Tucker brings, namely the expansion of the legal services we can offer to both our individual and business clients.”

All other existing members of Bradleys Solicitors staff have joined the combined team.

Both law firms have long histories with Bradleys Solicitors trading for over 150 years and Gill Turner Tucker celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2024.

Gill Turner Tucker is one of the sponsors of the Maidstone River Festival.

It has offices at County Gate in Maidstone, and offers a wide range of legal services including wills trusts and probate, family, residential property, commercial property, corporate, employment and dispute resolution.
