EMW Law LLP wins 3 prestigious awards

We are incredibly proud to share news of our success at the Insider Central & East of England Dealmakers Awards 2024 this month. Covering Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Dealmakers is the blue-ribbon event in the corporate finance calendar.

Shortlisted in 5 categories alongside some extremely stiff competition, we won 3 awards:

• Corporate Law Firm of the Year;
• Private Equity/Venture Capital Deal of the Year for the sale of Helix to Middleground Capital; and
• Deal of the Year (£10m+) for the sale of JCA Engineering to Mitie Group PLC.

Our Corporate Team had an exceptional 12 months, acting on over 50 M&A transactions with a combined value of more than half a billion pounds. This was followed up with a further 27 deals completed in October alone with a combined value of over £130m.

Head of Corporate, Simon Arkell commented: “Behind the numbers there is another story of an extremely busy team working with drive, determination, humour and a prevailing “in it together” mentality – the essence of the team’s culture. Our team is stronger than it has ever been. With an average age of just 38, it is brimming with incredibly talented people, dedicated to getting the best outcomes for their clients. Our success at Dealmakers is a testament to their dedication, talent and hard work as well as the continuing support of our clients and partners.”
