Our Deal History
The region has performed well during recent years and we are optimistic about the prospect of continued growth and increasing business activity. There has been a sustained upsurge in business confidence which is fuelling the desire of companies to press ahead with their plans for corporate acquisitions and disposals.
We have witnessed first-hand a continued rise in transaction activity giving further evidence of increased confidence among business owners and an increased appetite for corporate acquisitions, disposals and management buyouts.
Over the past 12 months we have worked on assignments for companies across the UK and with international clients. We have demonstrated our expertise in advising clients in buying and selling businesses, raising finance, carrying out financial due diligence and dealing with complex tax matters arising on transactions.
