Acquisitions
In recent years, Clifton Ingram has continued to grow through a number of strategic mergers and acquisitions. Following the mergers with Sarjeant & Sheppard and Ratcliffe Duce & Gammer in Reading, the firm acquired Bells Solicitors in Farnham in June 2021 and Sloan Solicitors in Wokingham in January 2024.
More recently, in 2026, Clifton Ingram welcomed specialist landlord and tenant practice PainSmith Solicitors into the firm, further strengthening its property litigation expertise.
These developments form an important part of Clifton Ingram’s long-term growth strategy, expanding the expertise available to clients while extending the firm’s reach beyond the Thames Valley into the M3 corridor through Surrey and Hampshire.
Bells Solicitors was one of the UK’s oldest law firms, with a history dating back to 1768. Its Farnham office was designed in 1890 by Edward Mountford, the architect of London’s Old Bailey. Today, the Farnham team works from modern offices at Gostrey House on Union Road.
Sloan Solicitors, established in 2006, built a strong reputation as a specialist domestic property practice serving clients in and around Wokingham.
PainSmith Solicitors, founded by landlord and tenant specialist Marveen Smith, developed a national reputation for advising landlords, letting agents and property professionals across England and Wales. The firm’s integration into Clifton Ingram strengthens its ability to support clients in an increasingly complex and regulated property sector, while ensuring the continuity of the specialist advice PainSmith clients value.
