Corporate team advises on £130m deals

THE corporate finance team at RSM has acted on deals worth £130m this year so far.

Its Leeds team has advised on high profile deals including the disposal of JSC International and the disposal of packaging specialist Synpac to Plastics Capital plc .

Steve Hubbard, corporate finance partner at RSM, said: “The corporate finance market can be seen as a barometer for business confidence, and despite the economic uncertainty we’ve had a strong year working on a range of significant deals.

“This hasn’t slowed down following the Brexit decision and there is still a good level of activity in the local market. Our pipeline looks strong, which is testimony to the expertise and capability in our team, but it also signals confidence from Yorkshire businesses and investors, which is a great news for the M&A market generally.”
