Bond Pearce and Dickie Dees agree to combine as Bond Dickinson

Anon 13 Dec 1123. I am afraid you are misguided in believing all you read in The Lawyer. I was a partner at Dickinson Dees in 2005 and the firm never had 699 solicitors. This was in fact the total staff numbers at the time. If this was in fact printed it was an error and not one that even a naive PR department could have attempted. For the record I think the merger makes sense and the negative comments reflect the jealous nature of others in the North East market. Some will be former DD employees and partners who could not deliver what was required, others will be competitor firms who for all the noise still get nowhere near matching DD's reputation and quality. Time for you all to grow up and acknowledge a good business decision when you see it.
