About
Provided by Weightmans
The Weightman's Newcastle corporate team’s focused sector approach has been pivotal in the development of its client portfolio. By way of example:
We are recognised as the leading firm in supporting fast-growing technology businesses and boast an enviable client list in this field,
We have a sector strength in supporting independent financial advisors and wealth managers who are facing increased regulation and are therefore looking to consolidate. Through our work with some major consolidators, we believe that we will have worked with more IFAs in the last 12 months than the majority of law firms in the UK.
We have the market-leading private equity and venture capital team in the north of England. Our knowledge of the equity funding market has enabled us to attract many significant private equity backed companies, who look to the team to support them through the growth strategies expected by private equity funders. In the last 12 months, the team has completed over 50 transactions in the venture capital and private equity sector. The team has also started to work more frequently with mid-market private equity funders,.
We have had an active 12 months, with the Weightmans’ Newcastle corporate team advising on over 85 transactions with a combined value of over £250 million.
The strength of the team was recognised at the Insider Dealmaker Awards where we were shortlisted in nine categories for the 2023 awards, with the team winning corporate law firm of the year.
