However, when contacted by Lawyers Weekly again today (10 November), Shine did not deny the rumour but instead said they would not be commenting on the matter.

On 9 November, Firm Spy reported that Shine Lawyers was about to announce its plans to acquire ALC Lawyers, claiming that such a move would provide significant competition for Slater & Gordon and its efforts to consolidate the national personal injury market.
