WKDW will start operating under the Richey May brand with immediate effect, in line with a wider rebranding process for other firms that have recently joined the group.

Richey May said the acquisition is part of its ongoing effort to build a national platform by integrating regional and specialist practices that align with its focus on specialisation, technology-enabled delivery and a “people-first culture”.

According to the companies, WKDW clients will continue to work with their existing teams while gaining access to a broader set of resources, deeper technical capabilities and a wider range of specialist services through Richey May’s national infrastructure.

WKDW was advised on the transaction by Koltin Consulting Group.
