South East firm DMH Stallard has confirmed its second merger of 2015, announcing it will tie up with London firm Ross & Craig in a move that will bring London revenue above £10m.

The merger follows the tie-up at the start of the year with Guildford firm AWB Partnership, which was DMH Stallard’s third merger in six years.

Ross & Craig brings eight partners and around £3m in revenue to DMH Stallard. The firm will now have 23 partners and an estimated turnover of over £10m in London.

In 2014/15 DMH Stallard turned over £21m with a third of that coming from the capital.

Managing partner Richard Pollins said the merger would benefit the clients of both firms and would provide a “solid platform” to grow on in London.

Ross & Craig was founded in the 1960s and advises on a range of matters including commercial, real estate, matrimonial and insolvency issues.

The firm’s managing partner Stephen Hove said the merger fulfilled its strategy “of merging with a firm which will enable us greatly to enhance the range and type of services that we offer to our clients”.

Its merger is the second to be completed since Pollins took over as managing partner from longstanding head Tim Aspinall at the end of 2014.
