NBB Law and Waldrons Solicitors Create a New Market Leader

Wednesday 1st October 2025

Waldrons Solicitors is excited to announce its acquisition by NBB Law, a Birmingham and London-based legal practice known for its client-focused service and specialist expertise.

With a history dating back 65 years, NBB Law has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality legal services. The firm is known for its pragmatic approach, deep sector knowledge, and enduring client relationships. Trusted and highly regarded legal advisers in their field, championed and recommended by their clients.

This acquisition marks a continuation of our legacy. We remain committed to the values and standards that have defined Waldrons for generations, while also bringing new resources, expertise, and innovation to ensure its future success. Clients can expect continuity in the relationships and services they rely upon, now enhanced by the broader opportunities this new chapter will bring.

Our combined firm now has over 130 staff, including 70 solicitors, across eight office locations in England. This growth offers clients unrivalled access to talent, cross-sector insights, and innovative legal solutions.

Joseph Norton, Managing Director at Waldrons Solicitors, said:

“The team here at Waldrons are proud of what we’ve built over many decades. Joining forces with NBB Law opens new horizons for our clients and our people.

“This new chapter honours the legacy of our late Managing Director, John Roberts, whose visionary leadership for over 30 years shaped the foundation of the firm.

“The transition will bring both stability and opportunity for our people and will also reassure our clients that the people they know, and trust will remain in place. As our brand and business continues to evolve, the heritage and values of both firms will remain.”

Rob Bhol, Managing Director, and Paul Nicholls, Senior Partner at NBB Law said:

“This is a defining moment in our firm’s history, the acquisition of Waldrons Solicitors not only brings together two firms with highly complementary strengths, but it also marks our commitment to bringing legal services of the highest standards to local communities with a focus on agility, collaboration, and excellence.

“Taking on the custodianship of a firm established in 1867 is both a privilege and a responsibility. We deeply respect the generations of professionals whose hard work and integrity built this legacy. Our commitment is to preserve what makes the firm distinctive, to honour the trust of its clients, and to ensure that its reputation for excellence continues to grow long into the future.”

What This Announcement Means for Our Clients

Clients of both firms will benefit from a seamless transition, maintaining access to the solicitors and teams they know and trust. Integration ensures continuity while also providing enhanced capabilities, broader sector expertise, and innovative legal solutions.
