Leading Coventry law firm celebrates 1st anniversary

Around 70 legal eagles joined together to celebrate the first anniversary of one of Coventry's leading law firms. Partners and staff at Band Hatton Button Solicitors on Warwick Road raised a glass of champagne to mark the special occasion at an event held at Blue Restaurant on Spon Street in the city centre.

Band Hatton Button was formed last year following the merger of three of Coventry's leading law firms Varley Hibbs, Band Hatton and Button Legal. The firm has 15 partners and employs over 70 staff with nine new members joining the firm within the last year.

Philip Costigan, senior partner at Band Hatton Button, said: "Last year's merger marked a major milestone in the history of the legal profession within Coventry and Warwickshire. "The merger combined three firms that were each already successful in their own right and over the last year we have not only been able to combine and strengthen our expertise but have also ensured that we are delivering the highest quality service to our clients.

"It was fantastic to see our staff come together to celebrate our first birthday as Band Hatton Button and we are looking forward to continuing to develop the firm in the future."
