Phillips Law has announced the acquisition of Davies Blunden & Evans (DBE), a long-established law firm serving the communities of Farnborough and Yateley.
The acquisition, effective from 1 April 2026, represents a significant milestone in Phillips Law’s 40th anniversary year and is a major step in the firm’s continued growth across the M3 corridor and the new North Hampshire Strategic Authority area.
While the name on the door is changing, our commitment to our clients remains the same. Together, we bring over 150 years of experience in Hampshire, helping local and national clients put clear plans in place and avoid unnecessary complications.
A Shared Commitment to Local Clients
Hayley Eachus, Partner and Board member at Phillips Law expressed:
“We are delighted to welcome the talented team from Davies Blunden & Evans to Phillips Law. DBE has over 110 years been serving the local community. By joining forces, we are combining our resources and expertise and share the same purpose to provide a service that remains personal, accessible, and anticipates their future needs, right on their doorstep,”
Deglan Rowe, Senior Partner of Davies Blunden & Evans assured:
“Becoming part of Phillips Law is good news for existing and new clients at both our Yateley and Farnborough offices. The major benefit will be in not only continuing to provide existing legal services but also specialists in other areas of law from our colleagues based currently in Basingstoke,”
Community Involvement
For 40 years, Phillips Law has supported businesses and families across Hampshire, offering expertise across a wide range of legal areas, including corporate, commercial, dispute resolution, employment, family, property, and private client law.
As we grow, our dedication to local engagement remains unwavering. Phillips Law will continue to actively support community initiatives, ensuring that our expanded team contributes meaningfully alongside continuing to deliver exceptional legal services.
Building on our long-standing commitment as the headline sponsor of the Basingstoke Half Marathon, we are thrilled to extend our support to the Farnborough community as the official Corporate Team Challenge sponsor for the Farnborough Marathon.
