During the 2022/23 financial year, the Corporate team at Blaser Mills Law successfully completed over 30 deals, with a combined connected value in excess of £350m, from its High Wycombe office alone. Despite the challenging economic climate, the team reinforced its strong position in the market, resulting in a considerable surge in deal volume with a number of deals between £35m to £70m.
The team received instructions from clients across diverse sectors, seeking assistance with their transactional matters. This included the shareholders of national insurance firms, international development consultancies, elite sports agencies, as well as companies specialising in audio-visual media, advanced robotics and agritech. Many of these have comprised an international dimension, either due to the multi-national nature of the operations of the target entity or the location of the buyer and/or their financing.
Headed up by Edward Lee (ranked in Band 1 by Chambers UK), the team regularly advises clients on UK and cross border mergers, acquisitions and disposals as well as private equity investments.
The success comes at a time of strategic expansion and investment in the team over recent years, with key hires from large regional and magic circle firms.
During the current financial year, the team aims to become a major force in the regional, national, and international legal markets, having increased their deal volume and size consistently over the past two years.
Edward Lee, Partner and Head of Corporate commented: ‘Blaser Mills Law is rapidly establishing itself as a preferred firm for Corporate transactions within our key regions. The team had a very successful year by delivering high-quality deals across several sectors. Looking ahead, we are confident deal activity will remain high’.
