WBR Group (WBR), the independent provider of SSAS administration and tax advisory services, has made a strategic move, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional legal services.
As part of this new chapter, WBR Group is welcoming Roy Botterill, a highly respected corporate lawyer, to join the firm’s team as Director of Law. Roy brings with him a wealth of experience from his previous role at Shakespeare Martineau, where he served for many years as Head of Leicester Office.
Roy’s commercial law expertise will be an integral part of an overall service WBR Group can offer to clients, particularly SMEs, who are seeking an exit or looking to pass the business down through the family.
WBR Group established a legal services business in November 2023: WBR Law operates from its established offices in Leicester and London, where small, dedicated teams provide clients with personalised legal services.
The firm’s existing leadership, comprised of Alan Simpson, Michael Conlon, and Anne Fendt, each of whom have over 30 years of legal experience, will be further strengthened by Roy’s arrival. The firm already has a strong offering in commercial property law. There is particular emphasis on SSAS pension clients alongside SMEs, larger businesses and clients with property portfolios.
In line with this growth, WBR Law is expanding its team further to include a paralegal, graduate trainee solicitor and administrative support. These additions reflect WBR’s commitment to fostering new talent and continuing to provide high quality legal services to its clients.
WBR Law operates as a separately regulated business under the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), ensuring the highest standards of professional conduct and client care. With the collective expertise of its directors and a clear vision for growth, WBR Law is well positioned to continue serving its clients with distinction.
Tom Moore, CEO of WBR Group, said: “I have known Roy for many years, and I’m delighted he has decided to join us at WBR. His extensive experience in corporate law and his leadership skills will not only enhance our service offering but also position WBR Group as a top choice for businesses seeking comprehensive commercial and related tax advice.
“Our specialised legal services, including commercial property, SSAS and company commercial services, perfectly complement WBR Group’s broader financial and tax advisory expertise, enabling us to offer clients a seamless and integrated solution for all their business needs. We are excited about the future and the continued growth of our talented team.”
Roy Botterill, Director of WBR Law, said: “I am thrilled to join WBR Group at such an exciting time in its development. The firm’s commitment to excellence and its collaborative, client-focused approach aligns perfectly with my own values. I look forward to working with my fellow Directors to further strengthen our service offering and to contribute to the firm’s continued success.”
