Arnold Fooks Chadwick has been acquired by Druce

The terms of the transaction are not publicly known other than the press release below. When I called Druce  LLP  they said only one  of the partners were hired  Timothy O' Callaghan  the rest either resigned or were let go, Mr Roger Millman is now no longer  senior partner at Arnold Fooks Chadwick and describes himself as a consultant to Druce.

The old office of Arnold Fooks Chadwick has now shut down and the staff have left.

It is also interesting when going  to Companies House to check the details of Arnold Fook Chadwick that Arnold Fooks Chadwick LLP  had not filed any accounts with companies house.

The financial strength of Arnold Fooks Chadwick  can not be determined as no accounts were issued to companies house.


The official press release states the following:-
