Seven other transactions completed in the same period, bringing the total deal value to 30 million pounds and incorporating a mix of purchases, sales and reorganisations from a wide variety of sectors ranging from Aggregates to IT Systems.
John Baddeley, director at Wake Smith, said: “We have completed a very successful run of high profile cases over the second quarter of this year and it is testament to the diligence of our corporate team that we have been able to step up and handle increasingly complex deals.
“Aside from the most notable cases, there have also been several refinancing of property portfolios involving both the corporate and property teams with a combined value of ten million pounds of funding.
“These property portfolios cover a mix of commercial properties, residential developments and student properties.
“This has been a very rewarding period for us and the firm has several deals still in the pipeline which we expect to complete over the next few months.”
