DWF confirms takeover of Newcastle firm Crutes

Comment

DD partners are hardly quaking in their boots over this. Sure, it will bring challenges to the whole NE market, but it's not as though come 1 Jan 2012, a thousand DWF lawyers will descend on Newcastle. There'll still only be the few they had before plus Crutes' staff (before DWF close Carlisle, which is inevitable). It'll take years before they close in on DD, and their current specialisms (insurance litigation and defendant PI and clinical neg) are not undertaken in any serious way by DD. It's Ward Hadaway and Watson Burton who are really in trouble over this.
