Swindon specialist law firm acquired by RWK Goodman

Personal injury law firm SJ Edney & Co has been acquired by RWK Goodman, the Bath-based multidisciplinary law firm with a large branch in Swindon.

The smaller firm was established by Seamus Jude Edney in 1996. His retirement led to the acquisition.

Paul Rumley, a partner in RWK Goodman’s clinical negligence division, said: “Our injury division has worked closely with SJ Edney & Co for many years, and we are pleased to be able to build on this relationship by continuing to provide exceptional service to their clients going forward.”

Seamus Edney said: “For nearly three decades, SJ Edney & Co has been dedicated to providing our clients with personalised, compassionate service.

“As I retire, I take great pride in the firm we’ve built and the relationships we’ve nurtured. Entrusting RWK Goodman with our clients was a decision made with their best interests at heart.

“I have full confidence in RWK Goodman’s team to continue delivering the exceptional care and attention our clients deserve, and I am grateful for their commitment to upholding our legacy of trust and excellence.”

Tracy Norris-Evans, head of injury at RWK Goodman, added: “RWK Goodman is committed to having a positive impact on the lives of individuals who have suffered serious injuries.

“We feel privileged to be entrusted to carry on the good work of SJ Edney & Co and to build a team around the clients and their families to support them through the legal process and beyond.”
