A leading North East law firm continues to expand its presence across the UK, with an esteemed industry report revealing high deal activity across the North East, East of England and nationally.
The Experian Market IQ M&A Review report for quarter one of 2025 has once again ranked Newcastle-based Mincoffs Solicitors as the region’s number one deal adviser.
Along with recording the highest volume of deals in the region, the firm has also been ranked fourth in the table for transactions in the East of England and in the top 20 legal advisers across the UK.
The department has expanded over the last year to facilitate increased client demand, welcoming solicitors Connie Lu and Olly Moore and paralegal Holly Kirk to the team.
They work closely with partners Paul Hughes, John Nicholson and Chris Hughes, associate solicitors Daniel Bell and Max Gilchrist, solicitor Grace Hughes and paralegal Jenny Harrison, with further recruitment for the department planned in the coming months.
The quarter one ranking is the latest in a pattern of increased deal activity for Mincoffs, which has been consistently recognised as the region’s leading deal adviser for more than two years.
Paul Hughes, senior partner and head of corporate at Mincoffs, is delighted with the result.
“It is a huge achievement to be recognised as one of the UK’s top 20 legal advisers, cementing what has been an incredibly strong start to the year for the corporate team and the firm as a whole,” he said.
“We are thrilled to have maintained our ongoing position as the North East’s number one deal adviser and it is fantastic to see the team’s performance being recognised with a high ranking in the East of England as well.
“This is an excellent result for quarter one, which the team should be very proud of, and one we hope to continue across the rest of 2025.”
