Leeds law firm Ison Harrison has acquired city neighbour Cohen Cramer Solicitors in a deal that has formed a £23m turnover business.
Cohen Cramer’s roots go back to 1980 when Howard Cohen & Co was established before it merged with Cramer Richards in 2009, forming Cohen Cramer which has specialised in regulatory and criminal law, personal injury, family law, dispute resolution, animal-related cases and legal costs. Its team of four directors and 27 staff are said to have generated a turnover of more than £3m last year.
The £19.3m turnover, employee-owned Ison Harrison, which has offices across Yorkshire, said the acquisition would significantly build its presence in the region. With Cohen Cramer’s team incorporated the business now has a workforce of more than 300.

By linking up with Cohen Cramer’s specialist lawyers, we are not only expanding our team but also enhancing our ability to serve our clients with a broader and more robust range of legal services.
“Cohen Cramer’s strengths in regulatory and criminal law perfectly complement our existing capabilities, and their focus on military and animal-related injury claims will significantly enhance our personal injury practice. We are stronger and more versatile than ever before.”

The firm’s strong reputation and extensive regional presence will enhance our ability to deliver outstanding service to our clients.
