Vertex Law

The Vertex Law corporate team, led by Nick Austen, acted for national liability adjuster Garwyn Limited in its purchase of ORS, the specialist health & safety and risk management consultancy. As part of the deal, the ORS directors Mike Williamson and Graham Corner joined Garwyn to head up its growing health & safety division.

 

This is the first recent acquisition for the successful Barclays Ventures backed Garwyn Group, which is one of the leading liability adjusters in the UK.

 

Garwyn chief executive Declan Treanor said, "There is no doubt that the current difficult economic climate is bringing a greater focus to all aspects of risk management for business. Health and safety is a key element of this and, therefore, the acquisition of ORS complements the range of services already offered by Garwyn."

 

Vertex Law took a key role in helping us to structure the acquisition. The right advisers can make a deal happen.

 

Nick Austen said, “Properly planned and managed acquisitions like the purchase of ORS are a good way of adding valuable targeted expertise to push forward growth business areas."
