MacRoberts celebrates British Legal Awards commendation

Scottish firm MacRoberts has been recognised at the British Legal Awards, with its Corporate Finance team being "Highly Commended" in the M&A Team of the Year category.

Hosted by Legal Week magazine in association with the City of London Law Society, the London ceremony was attended by over 700 top lawyers from the UK’s legal community. All the winners were decided by an independent judging panel, chaired by Edward Sparrow, chair of the City of London Law Society. 

The fast growing Corporate Finance team was cited following a record year in which it acted in over 123 deals worth in excess of £600m, involving businesses from large PLCs to ambitious startups. 

MacRoberts, the only independent Scottish firm recognised at the awards, was named for the third year running. Its Real Estate team won Property Team of the Year in 2018 and the Commercial Team was highly commended in 2017.

Neil Kennedy, managing partner commented: "Being recognised at a national level amongst Magic Circle firms each year for the last three years is an amazing achievement for us. The Corporate Team continues to impress with their achievements and I am really proud of them. Our recent tender wins and pleasing financial performance is testament to the hard work by everyone at the firm."
