Nexa was founded in 2017 by Eliot Hibbert and John Roberts with full approval from the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) as a regulated law firm.
In January 2020, Nexa Law expanded its reach by acquiring Peregrine, a well-established law firm. This acquisition broadened Nexa's service offerings and marked its strategic entry into the London legal market, boosting its national presence.
Following the Peregrine acquisition, Nexa Law opened its London office in 2020. This expansion into the UK's commercial and legal hub enhanced Nexa's accessibility to clients and underscored its commitment to growth.
By the end of 2020, Nexa Law had grown its team to 50 skilled lawyers. This milestone reflected the firm's success in attracting top legal talent, positioning it to deliver exceptional services across various practice areas.
By 2022, Nexa Law doubled its roster to 100 lawyers, showcasing the success of its flexible, modern legal platform. This growth reinforced Nexa's reputation as a thriving legal community with a significant industry impact.
Today, Nexa Law has grown to 190+ lawyers, solidifying its status as a leading industry frontrunner. This ongoing expansion highlights Nexa's commitment to innovation and quality, offering an unmatched experience for clients and legal professionals alike.
Thinking about transitioning your firm? Whether you are planning for growth or an eventual exit, our process is designed to be clear & professional:
Book a confidential call to discuss your firm's migration. We'll assess your firm's structure, client base, and operations to create a tailored transition plan that preserves your brand and client relationships.
Work with our senior leadership to conduct comprehensive due diligence. We'll develop a detailed migration plan covering regulatory compliance, client communication, file transfers, and financial arrangements.
Execute the firm migration with dedicated project management. We handle regulatory notifications, technology integration, client communications, and staff onboarding to ensure business continuity throughout the transition.
We look beyond simple turnover to assess your recurring revenue, profit margins, and the long-term potential of your client relationships. Our valuation process is transparent and based on current market multiples for modern legal practices.
Protecting your team is a priority. We follow all TUPE regulations to ensure a smooth transition, and because Nexa is a growth-oriented platform, your staff often find better flexibility and career opportunities with us.
Joining Nexa removes the massive financial burden of run-off cover. Your practice is integrated into our robust PII policy, which provides up to £10m in cover and protects against historic liabilities from day one.
Yes. We offer flexible deal structures including “earn-out” periods and consultancy roles. This allows you to stay as involved as you like, focusing on client work while we handle the management and regulatory side.
We understand that your name and reputation are your most valuable assets. We work with you to ensure a warm handover for your clients, maintaining the high service standards they expect while modernising the back-office experience.
While every firm is unique, a standard acquisition usually moves from initial valuation to legal completion within three to six months. We work at a pace that ensures thorough due diligence without causing business disruption.
Adrian, from The Long Yes podcast, sits down with Eliot, CEO of Nexa, to explore how a modern law firm is giving lawyers more autonomy, flexibility and control over their careers. From building the firm from the ground up to a 190-strong consultancy, Eliot shares insights on trust, timing and the evolving legal landscape.
