Ortus Group Announces Dan Sill’s Promotion to Director and Equal Shareholder
Ortus Group, a national leader in executive search and law firm mergers and acquisitions, headquartered in Birmingham, is pleased to announce the promotion of Dan Sill to Director Shareholder as of 1 January 2025. After a decade of working alongside founder and Managing Director Colin White, Dan becomes an equal shareholder in the company, marking an exciting new chapter for Ortus Group as it continues to thrive and expand its specialist services.
Founded in 2004, Ortus Group has built a stellar reputation for its expertise in headhunting leading legal professionals, facilitating sales, and orchestrating mergers and acquisitions for law firms across the country. To date, the company has successfully completed more than 70 law firm deals and countless executive search recruitment projects which have delivered well in excess of £200m of additional revenue to their clients, solidifying Ortus Group’s position as a trusted partner for the legal industry.
Dan joined Ortus Group ten years ago with no experience in either the legal industry or high-end recruitment work. With investment, training and support, Dan went on to become instrumental in growing the firm’s executive search recruitment division and this promotion recognises the contribution he has made. His deep industry knowledge, strategic acumen, and dedication to delivering exceptional results have played a key role in shaping Ortus Group’s success. Now, as a Shareholder and Director, Dan will work alongside Colin to steer the company through its next phase of growth.
Colin White, Founder and Managing Director, commented:
“Dan’s promotion and investment in Ortus Group is testament to his exceptional leadership, commitment, and expertise. Over the past decade, he has been pivotal to Ortus Group’s success, winning and delivering successfully on some very high quality projects, and I am thrilled to welcome him as an equal shareholder. Together, we are focused on building on our strong foundation and delivering even greater value to our clients.”
Looking ahead to 2025, Ortus Group is planning further growth, including the recruitment of new team members to meet increasing demand for both its recruitment and deal brokering services. With the business often operating at full capacity, the addition of fresh talent will enable Ortus to take on new clients while continuing to provide the high-quality service for which it is known.
Dan Sill, Director and Head of Legal Recruitment and Headhunting, shared:
“I am honoured to step into this new role and to invest in the future of Ortus Group. Over the years, we’ve built a business that not only delivers outstanding results for our clients but also builds lasting relationships because of the results we have achieved together. Colin and I share a vision for the future of Ortus Group, and I am excited about the opportunities ahead as we grow the team and continue to expand our client base.”
As Ortus Group enters its 21st year of operation, the company remains committed to its mission of connecting law firms with top talent and facilitating transformative business opportunities.
