Leading the way 2021: supporting deals in lockdown

Leading the way 2021: supporting deals in lockdown

Annual credentials report reviewing our deals success over the last year

The first quarter of 2020 was one of the busiest for our corporate finance team.

The first quarter of 2020 was one of the busiest for our corporate finance team. January through March saw a number of fantastic deals across business services, consumer, education, healthcare, industrials, private equity, and technology, media and telecommunications.

The arrival of COVID-19 had an immediate impact from April, and we quickly pivoted to supporting our clients with corporate restructuring, fundraising and accessing the various government schemes throughout the year. Despite the challenges, we continued to drive deals forward and maintain our momentum.

"We'd like to thank all our clients, and our dedicated team of mergers and acquisitions professionals for their continued efforts and dedication to make these deals happen under difficult circumstances."

Keely Woodley, Head of Corporate Finance Advisory
