Linder Myers Solicitors and Blackbourn & Bond, both of Shrewsbury, have launched the JV to offer an extended range of services to clients.
Linder Myers, which first set up in the town in 2008, said the venture would allow it to focus on providing advice on business transactions, business development, commercial and construction matters.
Bill Jarvis, regional managing partner, said: "I have been aware of Nick Blackbourn's excellent reputation for some time and I was aware that our respective practices had much synergy."
"Nick and I have been in discussions for a couple of months and, during the course of our discussions, I was aware of how committed we both were to forming a strong alliance between our two practices."
He said both parties felt the JV would be beneficial.
"Nick's practice will be able to take advantage of the infrastructure provided by a large organisation such as Linder Myers but being a very talented and highly-regarded corporate lawyer, Nick gives myself and my colleagues in Shrewsbury a great opportunity to tap into his undoubted knowledge and expertise," said Mr Jarvis.
"We are all very excited about the connection that has arisen and hopefully its long-term implications for us both."
Mr Blackbourn said: "I have been highly impressed with the vision and leadership of Linder Myers to become a leading legal services force within our region.
"To have an opportunity to be part of the team being assembled here is very exciting and will undoubtedly serve our respective clients well."
