Brooks Macdonald, an investment management company, agreed to acquire Adroit Financial Planning, an independent financial adviser firm, from Slater and Gordon, a law firm. Financial terms were not disclosed. “We have worked closely with Neil Jefferies and the team at Adroit since the early days of the firm. We admire their technical expertise and approach to clients and we are delighted to give them the opportunity with Brooks Macdonald to build and accelerate on their existing strong foundations. “An integral part of our proposition is to offer successful IFA partners like Adroit an opportunity to become part of a larger wealth management firm, adding both scale and capability, when the time is right for them. A shared culture and a focus on delivering a quality service provide a solid foundation from which to take advantage of exciting growth opportunities. I very much look forward to welcoming everyone at Adroit to Brooks Macdonald, enabling us to go from strength to strength together,” Andrew Shepherd, Brooks Macdonald CEO.
