Announced in July 2026, with the integration complete in November 2026, Clarke Mairs has now officially become Orwins.
Founded in Newcastle in 2007, Clarke Mairs built its reputation on clear, high-quality legal advice for businesses, entrepreneurs and private clients across the North East and beyond. And joining Orwins is a natural progression that expands the service we're able to offer our valued clients.
With a continued client-centred approach, bringing the teams together creates a stronger platform, with greater depth of expertise and a wider reach.
Paul Rushworth, Partner, explains why Clarke Mairs chose Orwins:
“At Clarke Mairs, we have always focused on a client-first approach, building an expert team to deliver high-quality practical legal solutions that exceed expectations. In Orwins, we have found a like-minded partner with an identical ethos, and we are excited for our staff and clients about the journey ahead as part of the group.”
The Clarke Mairs leadership team remains in place, and Clark Mairs clients will continue to work with the same people, through the same contacts, receiving the same level of service and responsiveness.
What has changed is the strength of the firm behind that advice. As part of Orwins, Clarke Mairs clients can draw on specialists across business law and personal law, from corporate, commercial property, litigation and insolvency through to wills, estates and family matters, with the Newcastle team remaining their first point of contact.
Our focus remains on helping clients make informed decisions, manage risk and move forward with confidence.
Orwins believes the law should never tie you up or hold you back. It should help you grow.
