August Equity has acquired Black Country-based Higgs LLP as the full-service law firm embarks on the next stage of its growth.
150 years of history
With roots stretching back 150 years, Higgs is one of the region’s leading law firms, employing more than 250 people and providing legal services to thousands of businesses and private clients.
Led by Managing Partner Nick Taylor, the firm has built a reputation for excellence and long-term client relationships, reflected in its 4.9 rating on Review Solicitors.
August Equity’s investment will enable Higgs to continue developing its people, recruit further top talent and explore M&A opportunities to strengthen both its regional and national presence.
The firm has already bolstered its position with the acquisitions of Lewis Onions in 2024 and M.R. Timms earlier this year.
Expansion ahead
Nick said: “We are delighted to partner with August Equity as we embark on a dynamic new phase of growth.
“Their backing enables us to expand our services, add resources, embrace innovation, and enter new regions in a rapidly changing legal market – all the while remaining dedicated to delivering legal excellence for our clients.
“With August’s support, we will build on our long-standing reputation, invest in our people, and sustain the core values that have defined our firm’s success for 150 years.”
