Phil Lane

Phil Lane is a Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) partner with more than 20 years’ experience, who specialises in advising entrepreneurs, corporates and private equity on a range of transaction types including company sales, acquisitions and fund raising.

He has a particular interest in advising entrepreneurial clients who are considering a company sale and is a firm believer that early and thorough planning and preparation is the best way to maximise value. Whilst his experience spans all sectors, he has a particular focus on the consumer sector – particularly those involved with food and beverage – and has completed transactions both in the UK and internationally.

Phil is part of the Deloitte Private leadership team and has a particular passion for advising directors, families and other shareholders involved in private companies, helping them to realise long-term value through transactions.

Deloitte’s M&A team in the South West and Wales is the largest in the region, and the real differentiator of the team is its broader cross service line capability including Transaction Services, Tax  – both corporate and shareholder, and wider strategic support.
