Leading corporate and commercial law firm Mincoffs Solicitors has once again been ranked as the region's most active deal adviser.
The news comes following the release of the latest Experian Market IQ M&A Review H1, which analyses deal volume across the first half of the year.
The firm has further reason to celebrate the result this time, with the number one position in the prestigious ranking table being one the firm has maintained for the last 18 months.
The corporate team secured the top spot after completing on 21 qualifying transactions over the period, with a total of 67 transactions across the year to date and a deal value in excess of £489 million.
Senior partner and head of corporate, Paul Hughes, is delighted with the result.
“The corporate team works incredibly hard to deliver successful results for our clients, so it is fantastic to see these efforts reflected in Experian’s deal table,” he said.
“Being named the region’s top deal adviser and maintaining this for a year and a half is no mean feat and is something we are incredibly proud of.
“This is a testament to the dedication of our entire team and puts us in a great position for the second half of the year.”
Along with the Experian ranking, the corporate team were recently shortlisted for Corporate Law Firm of the Year at the Insider Media North East Dealmakers Awards.
The first half of the year also brought about the conclusion of a rebrand for Mincoffs Solicitors, with the firm introducing new branding, a new logo and a new website.
The wider firm continues to attract new clients and win new work, with plans to increase the workforce by more than 10 per cent across the next 12 months to manage increasing demand.
The corporate team recently welcomed solicitor Connie Lu and there is further recruitment planned in the coming months for this team, as well as in the employment, real estate and dispute resolution departments.
“It’s certainly an exciting time to join Mincoffs Solicitors,” said Paul, “and we have lots more in the pipeline for the firm.
“The business has gone from strength to strength over the last few years and we have continued to grow the teams and attract clients based across the UK and as far as Thailand.
“We’re delighted to be in the position we are in and are committed to continuing this trajectory, so we look forward to what is to come in the future.”
