Tees and Wortley Byers celebrate successful merger

The stunning Garden Room at Stock Brook Country Club was filled with a celebratory atmosphere on Thursday as it hosted a drinks reception to mark the occasion of the recent merger of two highly successful regional law firms.
Tees, with offices across Hertfordshire, Essex and Cambridgeshire, merged with Brentwood-based Wortley Byers in January 2019; Thursday’s drinks reception was the first event to be held by the merged business.
Staff from the firm’s Brentwood and Chelmsford offices mingled with key clients and professional contacts, enjoying drinks, canapés and the evening’s entertainment – which was provided by none other than the hugely talented Jess Folley, winner of The Voice Kids UK and daughter of Wortley Byers’ Managing Partner, Lucy Folley.
Ashton Hunt, Group Managing Director at Tees, also attended the event and was delighted with the evening’s success: “It was an absolute pleasure to be present at our first joint event since the merger”, he said. “Seeing everybody come together in celebration of our achievements marked the culmination of months of hard work on the part of all involved, and left everyone in attendance feeling proud and extremely optimistic about our future.”
Lucy Folley, who now sits on the Tees board in the merged firm, said “We all thoroughly enjoyed our evening, and in such beautiful surroundings as well! The event allowed staff, clients and contacts to meet, network and look ahead to what is certain to be an exciting year of growth and opportunities for Tees Incorporating Wortley Byers.”

You did a great job countering barristers engaged by my then wife, to conclude a reasonable settlement for me at the Court. Thanks very much for your help and advice all those years ago - it has proven to be excellent!
Ms D

All in all, I still can’t thank you enough for all the help, advice and encouragement you gave me at the time of the divorce. I always felt really safe that you would get the best settlement in the nicest possible way.
Mr B

I have often thought back to some of our conversations in 2007 and your wise words on future possibilities. As I approach retirement, I will be left with some choices to make, but am in the fortunate position of being able to make those choices without financial pressure. Thank you.
