Shoosmiths LLP

Demonstrating strength in M&A, private equity, venture capital, and capital markets mandates, Shoosmiths LLP is characterised as ‘professional, patient, and commercial’, particularly in its approach to strategic divestments and complex investment rounds. The practice is highly regarded for its expertise in the tech and consumer goods fields, routinely overseeing M&A and disposals of issued share capital. Based in Birmingham, Alistair Hammerton co-heads the outfit alongside Simon McArdle, both of whom specialise in funding rounds and major logistics deals. Ben Turner regularly advises large corporates and high-growth businesses; Alastair Peet acts for growth capital investors; and Daniel Shilvock focuses on private equity transactions. Fiona Teague is also recommended.
