The Rainmaker Awards gather momentum with Mills & Reeve
THE Rainmaker Awards is continuing to gather momentum with law firm Mills & Reeve sponsoring the event, which takes place on May 22.
The ambitious law firm, which acquired Manchester-based practice George Davies last year, is keen to beef-up its presence in the corporate finance market, and so The Rainmaker Awards, a partnership between TheBusinessDesk.com and Out There Events, was a natural step.
Partner Mark Hovell who heads up Mills & Reeve’s Manchester office said: “The North West has firmly established itself as a centre of excellence in the corporate market having seen a number of high profile flotations and transactions recently and it is fantastic that this will be recognised by these awards.
“Mills & Reeve have made no secret of our ambitious plans to build on our strong corporate offering in the North West and sponsoring these awards fits perfectly with our strategy.”
Already supported by financial recruiter Watson Moore, and with two further sponsors in the pipeline, the awards bring a fresh, informal yet authoritative approach to the corporate finance community.
The shortlist will be selected by the professionals and then the deal-doers will vote for the winners online through our dedicated website at http://www.therainmakerawards.co.uk
At the dinner at the Hilton Hotel in Manchester, there will be live interviews with the key players, providing a credible and genuine commentary of activity over the 12 months to March 31.
Awards will be made in nine categories, while the overall Rainmaker will be selected on the evening.
The categories are:
Legal Team of the Year
Corporate Finance Team of the Year
Transaction Services Team of the Year
VC/Private Equity Team of the Year
