From the administrators' statement
Roy Morgan commenced trading as Roy Morgan and Co (later known as Morgans Solicitors) in July 1985 when the business broke away from another law practice within the Cardiff area Over the last 27 years the business has provided various legal services and became one of the largest legal aid providers in Wales with, at one time, more than 100 employees There has been a heavy bias towards legal aid funded cases
The business plan of the practice included a strategy to develop and expand on the level of private client work undertaken The practice also continued to expand in almost all categories of law with the number of employees continuing to increase As part of the growth strategy, Morgans acquired two small firms which benefited the business with new categortes of work and specific individuals as specialists The practice grew over several years to the extent that 1t operated from two offices in Cardiff, two m Swansea and one in West Wales together with the provision of outreach services in twelve centres across South Wales
Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s the practice was very successful as a result of some substantial cases it conducted In order to develop the business further additional leased premises were acquired in 2009, which helped to bring in high quality, private family work and litigation
