Corporate transactions represent pivotal moments for businesses and their owners, providing opportunities to grow, transform or realise value.
To achieve the successful completion of a deal requires a combination of technical expertise, a commercial understanding of the business itself, the market in which the business operates and stakeholder interests.
Our corporate team is highly experienced, numbering over 100 people including 30 partners, working across offices in London, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham and Newcastle. The team advises a broad range of clients, including private and public institutional companies, private equity funds, management teams, SMEs, entrepreneurs and start-ups, across a variety of sectors. Clients also benefit from support through our international network of offices.
In 2024 our corporate team advised on 150 transactions with an aggregate value in excess of £3.9bn.
We operate on a partner-led basis, giving you direct access to senior expertise at every stage of a transaction. Backed by a large national team and deep knowledge of regional markets, we deliver the highest quality service rooted in a clear understanding of your business priorities. Our approach is grounded in common sense and commercial awareness, ensuring practical, effective support in every matter.
