The corporate team at Leeds-based Blacks Solicitors has completed more than 50 deals worth over £220 million.
Across the last financial year, the team saw a 13%, or £200,000, increase in turnover, was instructed on 216 matters, and won 100 new clients.
The corporate team worked closely with the commercial, music and banking departments at Blacks to provide a cross-service offering to multiple clients.
Commenting on the success of the team, Nigel Hoyle, head of corporate law at Blacks Solicitors, said: “I am proud of the team for their hard work which is reflected in the significant number of transactions and growth of turnover that we have generated over the last financial year.
“As we continue to secure high-value work from clients across the Yorkshire region and beyond, I am hopeful that our growth trajectory will continue, and we will be able to reflect on another prosperous year in 2024”.
Thanks to its successes, the team has experienced several new hires and promotions.
Pete Bott returned to the firm in October 2022 to head up the new music law arm, bringing with him a wealth of experience in acting for artists and producers.
Alex Hall and Hayley Blackburn, who are integral members of the corporate team, were promoted to senior associate and associate, respectively.
