JR Levins LLP is marking one year since the successful merger of Levins and Jones Robertson, celebrating 12 months of expansion, integration and significant progress in delivering expert legal services across Merseyside.

Although the firms had been established for nearly 40 years each, combining the firms brought new challenges. They merged in 2024 with the objective of creating a more comprehensive and regionally accessible legal service, but the priority for the first year was stability – maintaining consistent service and retaining valued clients while laying the groundwork for future growth.  

Over the past year, the firm has: 

• Opened a fourth office in Wallasey, extending its reach across the region. 

• Expanded its Private Client and Crime departments, responding to increased client demand. 

• Welcomed a new Head of Conveyancing, bringing fresh leadership and strategic direction to the property team. 

• Invested in staff development, offering cross-departmental training and promoting an internal culture of continuous learning. 

• Enhanced marketing capability, transitioning an intern into a full-time marketing role and building a two-person in-house marketing team. 

• Joined the Halton Chamber of Commerce, cementing its role within the local business community. 

JR Levins has worked steadily to integrate systems and processes from both legacy firms. Internally, the team has made strong progress in aligning workflows and improving collaboration between leadership and departments. The firm’s success is still driven by its dedication to client service. As evidence, Karla Cope, Head of Wills and Probate, recently received the Lifetime Lawyer Award, which recognises her work in supporting elderly and vulnerable clients. 

Reflecting on the past year, Tracy Morgan, Managing Partner, said “This anniversary represents how far we’ve come together as a team. The merger provided us the opportunity to determine who we want to be, and I’m glad that our expansion has gone hand in hand with our commitment to care and expertise. Last year set the ground running for the future, where we invest in our team and continue to deliver the best possible service to our clients.” 

Looking ahead, JR Levins LLP plans to continue its trajectory of growth, expand its service areas and deepen its investment in digital transformation and client experience.
