Aegis Legal is now part of Express Solicitors Limited, a top 100 law firm also in the north west, and one of the UK’s largest personal injury solicitors.

Aidan Wilcox and Janet Keating, managing directors of Aegis Legal are retiring and the other members of staff will join Manchester-based Express as part of the deal.

CEO of Express Solicitors James Maxey said: “This acquisition reflects our commitment to investing in high‑quality legal services and expanding our ability to support injured people across the country. Aegis Legal has built a strong reputation for client care and specialist expertise, and we are delighted to welcome the team into the Express Solicitors family.”

Ian Bevan, Director at Aegis Legal Ltd added: “Joining Express Solicitors represents an exciting new chapter for our team and our clients. We share a common ethos of delivering exceptional service and achieving the best possible outcomes for those we represent. This move ensures our clients will benefit from even greater resources and support.”

All existing Aegis Legal clients will continue to receive uninterrupted service, with their cases seamlessly transitioning to Express Solicitors’ systems. The integration process is underway, with both firms working closely to ensure a smooth and positive experience for clients and staff.
