Steven Barker, senior partner in RLF, said: "Cross & Hall has a good mix of commercial work and local authority work, which we've never been into until now.
"It's good timing, considering the state of the commercial market."
He added: "We want to form a consultancy division that incorporates tax advice and risk management in the next few months.
"We're still on the look-out for other mergers – we have a lot of national clients, and if we build up our presence in different cities they're more likely to give us more work."
