OUR CORPORATE TEAM

Regarded as a top tier corporate offering, our team of experienced corporate lawyers have at their core a focus on client engagement and delivery for every transaction.
Our M&A specialism lies in transactions with an equity value of £1million to £50 million acting on sales and purchases by trade, management and private equity.
We also boast unparallelled experience and dedicated expertise in corporate restructuring and reorganisation work, be it tax or company led.
Having a trusted legal partner is essential and our corporate team are dedicated to meeting each client's needs throughout their corporate lifecycle. From initial startup, through investment, financing and corporate governance, to sales, exits and succession planning.
We pride ourselves on providing not only the expected “legals” but giving real assistance to clients during their transactions. Our role is to act as advisors, be it answering legal questions, general musings or to act as trusted sounding boards.
