Sintons is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with Cumbria Employment Solicitors, the region’s premier niche employment law practice.
This move marks a significant investment in the Cumbrian legal landscape, bringing together the specialist expertise of a local boutique firm with the heavyweight resources of one of the North’s leading full-service law firms. Rather than a traditional takeover, this is a joining of forces designed to enhance the legal support available to businesses and individuals throughout the region.
For 18 years, Cumbria Employment Solicitors has been a trusted advisor across the county. Under this new relationship, the firm will be “Reinforced by Sintons,” ensuring that while the personal touch and local presence and knowledge remain, the capability behind the scenes expands very significantly.
Cumbrian clients will now benefit from seamless access to Sintons’ full suite of legal services—including corporate law, real estate, private client work and the specialist rural services team – without losing the bespoke, face-to-face service they have come to expect.
“Having led Cumbria Employment Solicitors for 18 years, my priority has always been providing high-quality, specialist advice throughout the county,” says Michael Bauer, who has joined Sintons as a Partner. “By teaming up with Sintons, we are giving our clients the best of both worlds. We remain deeply committed to Cumbria and providing legal services that suit the county’s distinctive flavour, but we now have the backing of a major regional firm with all the additional expertise this offers. It’s about reinforcing our local expertise and perspective with a broader range of legal solutions and yet retaining our core commitment to the needs of clients.”
Christopher Welch, Managing Partner at Sintons, added: “We have long admired the work Michael has done in Cumbria. This isn’t just about growth; it’s about synergy. Sintons and Cumbria Employment Solicitors share a common DNA: a commitment to excellence and a fiercely personal approach to client care. Together, we can offer Cumbria a full-service experience that is both sophisticated in its scale and local in its delivery.”
