HCR Law ranked first across UK for merger and acquisition deals

HCR Law have been ranked first across the UK – along with the South East, South West and East of England – in Experian’s Q3 M&A review, reinforcing the firm’s leading position in the market for merger and acquisition deals.

The Corporate team’s vast range of deals led to them taking second place across London and the Midlands and third in Wales. The firm also took sixth and eighth place in Yorkshire and the North West respectively – showing the breadth of M&A deals taking place across the country.

Experian note that “the UK M&A market has seen as impressive increase in value this year, driven by a wave of mega-deals and a significant influx of overseas bidders.”

Richard Wilkey, Head of National and London Corporate teams, commented: “I’m delighted by these rankings – they clearly demonstrate our strength as a leading national corporate team.

“These results show the merger and acquisition landscape continues to thrive. There are a lot of businesses who are looking to diversify their offering and grow their client base. Our job is to make that happen; I’m keen to see what the rest of this year looks like and into next year.”

The results come shortly after the firm was nominated for Law Firm of the year at the Thames Valley Deals Awards.
