Ives & Co Solicitors Acquired by River Cam Group — Law Firm M&A

River Cam Group, a search fund, has acquired Ives & Co Solicitors, a Nottingham-based law firm providing consumer legal services. Ives & Co Solicitors, founded in 1986, operates from offices in Nottingham and Ruddington, with additional presence in Kent. The transaction is described as a platform acquisition, with deal size undisclosed.

Ives & Co Solicitors focuses on residential legal work, positioning the business within the UK professional services sector at the intersection of legal services and consumer demand. For River Cam Group, the acquisition provides an entry point into the legal market with a regional footprint across the East Midlands and beyond, supporting a platform strategy that can be used to build scale through further expansion.

The announcement does not disclose financial terms, advisers, or an expected closing date. The deal nonetheless signals continued interest in platform-led consolidation in UK legal services, particularly among buyers seeking established practices with defined geographic coverage.
