Patrick Dawson Law, was founded in 2019 by the Narrandera-born lawyer.

Last year it expanded into Coleambally with the intention of serving areas that previously struggled with seeing a lawyer face-to-face.

"Both firms are committed to servicing the region with the best legal representation they can get, no matter their location, age, income or status," Mr Dawson said.

"We practise with empathy, care and integrity with the intention of creating long-lasting social impact, without drawn-out expensive legal battles.

"This will continue even more so now with this historic merger."

The merger will see all staff of both firms remain and bring the total number of employees to 10, with numerous other legal contract specialists.

Clients of the firms were notified of the changes in June, ahead of the settlement, and will continue trading under their individual company names for the foreseeable future.
