Brady Solicitors secures investment to accelerate its next phase of growth

CEO Clare Brady founded the firm in 2008, identifying an opportunity to create a specialist law firm dedicated to the needs of the property management sector. Since then, Brady Solicitors has become a national leader in its market with a team of over 50 people, differentiated by its excellent client service, deep sector knowledge and technology-enabled platform in an increasingly regulated market.

The investment will support Brady Solicitors’ growth strategy, led by CEO Clare Brady, Executive Director Colin Hussey, CFO Ian Brace and CCO Emma Wilson. The firm plans to continue investing in its people, market-leading services and technology-enabled platform, alongside targeted acquisitions that broaden its reach and strengthen its specialist proposition.

Clare Brady, CEO of Brady Solicitors, said: "We are the go-to legal partner for managing agents and freeholders across the UK. Our team combines deep specialist expertise with a commitment to delivering the best outcomes for our clients, and ensuring property managers can continue to provide world-class residential spaces. 

“Partnering with LDC gives us the backing and strategic support to take the firm to the next stage. They understand our market, share our ambition and bring real experience of helping businesses like ours to scale. Their Value Creation Partners team can provide technology and data support which will be valuable for us and our clients as we grow. We're excited about what we can achieve together."

LDC’s investment was led by Investment Director Simon Peacock, alongside Partner and Head of East Midlands and East of England David Bains, and Investment Executive Lucy Lagrosse. 

Simon Peacock, Investment Director at LDC, added: "Brady Solicitors has built a strong reputation as a trusted specialist adviser to the property management sector. Demand for its services is increasing as regulatory reform adds complexity across the market, and Clare and her team are well placed to support clients through that change. We are looking forward to supporting the firm’s ambitious plans for growth."

The partnership brings Brady Solicitors additional strategic support as it continues to scale its specialist legal services for the property management sector. LDC has experience supporting management teams in the legal and property services markets, including investments in Harper James, The Barrister Group, Keoghs, Frankham and Lomond.

LDC was advised by Cooper Parry Corporate Finance and Transaction Services (Andy Parker and Ed Gray), Gateley LLP (Beth Mather and Matt Hussey) as well as BDO Tax (Nuala McLaughlin and Nathan Hughes) and Keystone Law (Frank Maher).

Brady Solicitors was advised by Grant Thornton (Nick Gillot and Tom Johnson) and Browne Jacobsons (Gavin Cummins and Sam Sharp).

The transaction is subject to the usual regulatory approvals.
