Commenting on the strategic importance of JTC Law, Nigel Le Quesne, CEO, JTC, said:

"JTC prides itself on being able to provide solutions to meet the bespoke needs of clients and often this is achieved by ensuring we can source external legal advice when required. With that in mind and against the backdrop of our Group-wide growth ambitions, I look forward to seeing the ongoing value JTC Law can add as it embarks on another period of evolution and growth.

"Sitting alongside JTC's wider professional services offering, JTC Law significantly enhances our reach and client service offering, aiming to fulfil the Group's goal of providing a one-stop shop for clients."

Leanne Wallser commented:

"This year marks an exciting new chapter in the evolution of JTC Law, and I have huge belief in our potential. The firm occupies a unique position, being independent whilst also benefitting from an association with the JTC Group. This gives us the ability to provide a highly flexible service offering for clients tailored to their needs, whether they are looking for integrated legal and professional services in partnership with JTC, additional legal services to complement existing arrangements, or the services of a trusted advisor for those seeking a legal-only relationship with an independent law firm.

"Our core values are deep-rooted in a culture of collaboration and inclusivity, mirroring the ethos of the JTC Group. By blending a high-quality professional proposition with a genuine focus on our people, our aim is to differentiate ourselves from the more traditional law firm model, something that is reflected in our reward packages, consultancy opportunities and flexible working arrangements. We are now fully focused on continuing to grow our team, expanding our reach and enhancing our proposition in the international legal services market."
