Sintons & Lowthian Gray

North-east merger kicks off

Newcastle-based firm Sintons has acquired family and divorce firm Lowthian Gray.

Lowthian Gray was formed six years ago, and last year recorded its most successful ever year. It will relocate from its current Jesmond base into Sintons’ offices opposite St James’ Park and founder Katharine Lowthian will become a partner in Sintons.

Katharine said “We are delighted to be joining Sintons at such an exciting time of growth and expansion and accessing their wide range of capabilities and legal disciplines will enable us to provide essential services that a niche firm is unable to offer and will strengthen the excellent personal service we already provide.”
