Corporate/M&A: SME/Owner-managed Businesses - South West
What the Team is Known For
Strengths
Our lead partner and his team had extensive experience in M&A. They have a very professional, thoughtful approach to negotiation, alongside being able to predict what is likely to come next!
Their communication was always very good and they were literally available 24/7. I was frankly amazed to have emails sent to me late at night or in the early hours in order to keep matters on course.
They quickly grasped complex issues. Their knowledge and experience were invaluable. I was never left waiting.
Work Highlights
Stephens Scown advised on a management buyout of the entire issued share capital of second generation family business St John’s Nurseries to a Newco formed by two existing managers.
Notable practitioners
David is very strong in this space - he has extensive experience and lots of reference points. He is also very easy and pleasant to work with.
David is most experienced, knowledgeable and brings a feeling of calm confidence to the overall experience. He leads the team well.
Giles Dunning is joint head of Stephens Scown's corporate team and has a broad range of experience of corporate and M&A matters, notably in relation to transactions for IFAs.
I was very satisfied with Giles' service.
Joint head of Stephens Scown's corporate team, Laurie Trounce advises on a wide range of transactions. Her clients include SMEs and charities.
An excellent provision of legal services from Laurie.
