What happens when a boutique firm is acquired by a larger firm?

With a strong, national client base, DHH practices in dispute resolution and insolvency.

The acquisition represents a significant investment in Lynch Meyer’s expansion into all major jurisdictions across Australia.

Following the acquisition, DHH founding directors James Devonish and Cameron Henderson will join Lynch Meyer as partners within the commercial litigation, debt recovery and insolvency team, along with Briana Harris, who will join Lynch Meyer as special counsel.

Talking to Lawyers Weekly, Devonish highlighted the key advantages of boutique firms joining larger firms, mentioning the ability to better support clients’ needs.

“By joining Lynch Meyer, we can retain our specialist expertise and strong client relationships while gaining access to broader resources, infrastructure and complementary practice areas,” Devonish said.

“This enables us to offer a more comprehensive suite of legal services, better support our clients’ evolving business needs and continue delivering consistently high levels of personalised service.”

Devonish also recognised the importance of partnering with a firm that shares the same expertise.

“The key is to partner with a firm that shares the same commitment to specialist expertise and personalised service,” Devonish said.

“Lynch Meyer’s strengths in credit management, dispute resolution and insolvency complement and deepen Devonish, Harris and Henderson’s capabilities in these areas.

“Our shared focus on building strong client relationships and providing clear, strategic and pragmatic advice will enable us to preserve the personalised service our clients value while benefiting from greater resources and broader expertise.

“As our clients’ needs evolve, access to greater resources will help us maintain the high standard of service they expect.

“This acquisition creates exciting opportunities for both our clients and our team.”
