Herrington Carmichael’s Camberley Head Office
Increased complexity in deals
We have also seen an increase in the complexity of the transactions we are advising on. We have frequently navigated overseas elements, pre-completion restructuring, greater regulatory focus (especially in light of new legislation such as The National Security and Investments Act 2021), and more intricate purchase price structures.
Interestingly, the value of transactions appears to be increasing too. Whether this is as a result of being forced in 2020 to focus on finances, growing parts of the business, or indeed new revenue streams, it is great news for selling shareholders, whilst buyers are willing to pay market value for good businesses.
Herrington Carmichael has a strong reputation and dedicated team which advises on financial services M&A, and this sector has also seen significant growth with the team completing 16 transactions in the sector in the past 12 months alone.
2020/21 has been a fantastic year for Herrington Carmichael across the firm and in particular our Corporate and Commercial Lawyers as they continue to enhance their reputation – the team were described by clients in the latest The Legal 500 rankings as:
‘The corporate and commercial team are the best technical and at the same time practical and real-world solicitors I have come across – great client service’
‘Strong commercial and corporate team, offering reliable and practical advice at competitive rates. The quality of advice we have received when instructing the commercial team is comparable to many large City firms we have used but at non-City fees.’
‘Herrington Carmichael has acted like an extension of our business. They have been a huge support, have been exceptionally credible in some extremely difficult commercial contractual matters.’
The next target for Herrington Carmichael is to push on into the top 200 UK law firms as we aim for continued growth, further investment in our business as we continue to support our clients, build strong relationships and make some new friends along the way.
