Our corporate practice has been central to our business. Quite simply, we believe we have one of the most talented and committed group of lawyers advising in this practice area outside of London . This belief is borne out by the increasing number of clients who choose to repose trust in us to look after their corporate affairs; often in preference to much larger City or National practices.
But do not just take our word for it. Legal 500, the respected ‘who’s who’ in the legal world says
“Heatons is the name on everyone’s lips ………. in the space of four years [Heatons] has earned widespread respect for the quality of its corporate finance offering ”.
Our corporate services focus on transactions up to £50m although we have undertaken work for clients in connection with transactions in excess of this threshold. Traditionally our scope of advice has been restricted to advising privately owned companies but as our practice and clients grow and mature we are increasingly exposed to the regulated financial markets.
Despite our involvement in deals of ever-increasing size, we remain committed to the smaller deals where we believe our expertise enables us to deliver such projects in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Our projects and deals page will give an idea of the type of corporate transactions we have been involved in but briefly we typically get involved in:
- private company M & A
- MBOs and MBIs
- acquisition finance
- development/expansion capital
- restructurings and refinancings
Aside from our transactional activities we advise on all aspects of general corporate law providing timely, commercial and realistic advice to clients in a broad range of business sectors.
