Tuckers announces Mulrooney Craghill merger

We are delighted that we have finalised the terms of our partnership  with Mulrooney Craghill Limited.  The Mulrooney Craghill name will  continue to exist and the practice  will continue in its current form. The benefits to both parties are the ability  to share resources and back office functions to lower the overall costs of  practice.

Both parties share a vision which embraces the  digitalisation of the criminal justice system – notwithstanding the signifcant  challenges posed from declining revenues through falling  volumes of work and cuts to fees, against a continuing backdrop of uncertainty with  regards the government’s plans for the structure of criminal legal aid  contracting.

Adam Makepeace, Practice Director for Tuckers said, “I am pleased to welcome the Mulrooney Craghill team.  They have an  excellent reputation in Brighton and Sussex – and, building on our successful  partnership with Robin Murray & Co, we are pleased to be able to continue to  face the obvious challenges in criminal legal practice through  collaborations with like minded firms and individuals all over the  country”.

Teresa Mulrooney, Managing Director of Mulrooney Craghill said; “we were  determined to be pro-active to seek the best structure for us to maintain and  grow our practice in criminal defence work.  Retaining control over what makes our firm successful  was of paramount importance to us – but,  at the same time, we can now  draw on the additional resources of a larger organisation.  We believe that  Mulrooney Craghill will continue to flourish under this arrangement – whatever  form of contracting the future may bring.”
