Ufenau-backed Express Solicitors acquires Manchester personal injury firm Ralli
Manchester personal injury firm Ralli, with around 40 staff, joins Express Solicitors, its fourth acquisition this year.
Express Solicitors, owned by private equity firm Ufenau Capital Partners, has made its fourth acquisition of the year with a deal for Ralli, another Manchester personal injury firm. Around 40 people will move over from Ralli, whose managing director is Martin Coyne.
Earlier this year Express also bought Aegis Legal, the Sorrymate brand and Recovery Assist.
Coyne said joining Express gives Ralli's people and clients the scale, resources and specialist expertise of a firm committed to client care and access to justice. Express chief executive James Maxey said Ralli has a long-established reputation in the UK and international legal market, making it an excellent strategic fit for both firms.
