TC Group, an Accountancy Age “Top 20” UK firm of business advisors and accountants, specialises in tailored accountancy and taxation solutions. With over 50 locations nationwide, the firm continues to expand its presence through this integration, which aligns with its ongoing M&A strategy.
As part of the transition, the Haines Watts Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester offices will now operate under the TC Group name, adding three new locations to the firm’s growing network. Additionally, Haines Watts Derby, Nottingham and Leicester will gain access to TC Group’s national and international support network, enhancing their service capabilities.
Rothera Bray acted on behalf of the selling shareholders of Haines Watts (East Midlands) Limited, Haines Watts Nottingham Limited and Haines Watt Audit EM Limited.
The Rothera Bray team was led by Corporate Partner David Kaplan. Working with David were Senior Associate Liz Mills and Solicitor Liam Wicks. They were supported by Partner Catherine Angrave from the firm’s Commercial Property team and Managing Associate Rachel Mills from the Employment team.
David Kaplan said: “It was a pleasure working with the Haines Watts shareholders. We had a very tight timetable that did not allow for any slippage. The Rothera Bray team worked tirelessly to ensure that the transactions completed on the date targeted from the outset of the transaction.
“I wish Martin, Mark, James and Shiran all the best for the future. Being part of the TC Group is a great fit and will enable them to take the businesses to the next level.”
