YORK-based Minster Law has revealed it is expanding into London.

The move by the personal injury specialist, which employs 800 people in York and Wakefield, follows its acquisition by the BGL Group earlier this year.

After being granted the industry’s largest alternative business structure licences for the takeover, the business is now looking to grow in the multi-track and catastrophic personal injury sector. Stuart Ramsey, managing director at Minster Law, said: “This is a key milestone in the growth of Minster Law and further enhances our strategy to become a market leading multi-track and catastrophic personal injury firm.”

Minster has taken on a 30-strong team to run the new London office.

It has also revealed plans to recruit across all Minster Law sites in 2014.
