The latest expansion news from Minster Law for you;
Minster Law has opened its first Cardiff office and acquired RCN Law’s existing portfolio of employers’ liability claims, extending its relationship with the Royal College of Nursing and strengthening its presence in Wales and the Southwest.
The agreement follows Minster’s appointment nine months ago to handle new personal injury claims for RCN members. It brings the existing cases previously retained by RCN Law, the alternative business structure established with NewLaw, into Minster Law.
Experienced colleagues transferring from RCN Law will join Minster’s wider regional team, helping preserve specialist knowledge and support continuity for members with ongoing claims.
The Cardiff office will serve as a hub for both transferring colleagues and Minster’s existing team across the region. It builds on the firm’s established presence through remote working, providing a physical base for collaboration, future recruitment and further growth.
The acquisition is Minster’s second in recent months, following its acquisition of ARAG’s personal injury business.
Shirley Woolham, (above) CEO of Minster Law, said: “Our relationship with the RCN is already well established, and taking on these existing cases is a natural next step. Bringing experienced colleagues into Minster helps retain the knowledge and expertise that matter to members, supported by the resources of a national specialist personal injury firm.
“Opening in Cardiff is also a clear statement of our commitment to Wales and the Southwest. We already have talented colleagues across the region. This gives them a shared base and creates a home for more people to build their careers with Minster as we grow.”
Victoria Peal, Associate Director of Legal Services at the Royal College of Nursing, said: “Our priority is ensuring members receive expert support and a positive experience throughout their claims. Minster Law already handles new personal injury claims for our members, so this builds on an established relationship.
“Retaining experienced colleagues and their knowledge of members’ cases is an important part of that continuity. Minster’s investment in Cardiff also brings a stronger local presence alongside the support and specialist expertise of a national firm.”
The agreement supports Minster’s ambition to grow its employers’ liability practice and develop further relationships with membership organisations and trade unions seeking specialist personal injury support for their members.
Shirley added: “Membership organisations and trade unions share a need for legal partners who understand the responsibility that comes with supporting their members. We see a clear opportunity to build on our employers’ liability expertise and develop more of these relationships, combining specialist advice with a service shaped around members’ needs.”
“Following our recent ARAG acquisition, this agreement demonstrates our approach to growth: choosing opportunities where our expertise, people and partnerships can deliver lasting value. We welcome conversations with organisations looking for that kind of legal partner.”
