Swan Hill’s oldest law firm Garden & Green is set to merge with future focused regional practice Beck Legal in a move set to provide the community quality legal services for years to come.
Garden & Green Lawyers principal Kim Bainbridge announced the merger of his practice with Beck Legal last week, Kim said that he was excited by the opportunities that the merger with Beck Legal offers to his clients in the region. “The main motivation behind this strategic move was to ensure that Garden & Green’s long standing valued clients and their history would be preserved in Swan Hill” he said. Mr Bainbridge and key staff, who will stay on with Beck Legal after the merger in August this year said, “This is a perfect partnership of three historical regional Victorian firms, Garden & Green, Basile Pino & Co and Beck Legal, with united values and practice areas which will ultimately benefit all our clients and our community.”
Originally established in 1971 in Bendigo, Beck Legal has grown into a successful modern legal practice with offices in Bendigo and Swan Hill. Led by Managing Director Daniel Cole, the team of lawyers and client managers all live and work in regional Victoria. “We are extremely proud of the talented group of individuals we have at Beck Legal” said Mr Cole. “We know our clients, understand their legal needs, and have a desire to support our regional community. Creating sustainable long term employment opportunities by merging these three great regional businesses allows clients to source the support that they require in their own regional setting, this leads to better outcomes for the community not only for the jobs and convenience it creates but with consolidated revenue we can continue reinvesting back into our community through sponsorship, donations, work experience and future employment opportunities.”
Expanding into the Swan Hill region in 2019 which saw the merger between Beck Legal and Basile Pino and Co, the firm has flourished with the support of Joe Pino who said, “The legal knowledge and support that Beck Legal has provided over the past few years is a testament to their clear strategic direction, youthfulness and commitment to supporting regional people”.
Specialising in Commercial and Business transactions, Wills and Estates, Property and Development, Conveyancing, Local Government and Planning, Farm Succession Planning, Litigation and Dispute Resolution and Corporate Governance; Beck Legal look forward to continuing its highly regarded service in the Swan Hill region for many generations to come.
