Former Cobbetts head Muth moves to Hill Hofstetter

WELL-known corporate lawyer Graham Muth, who headed up the Cobbetts operation in Birmingham until it went into administration at the end of January last year, has moved to law firm Hill Hofstetter.

He becomes a corporate partner at the Solihull and London-based firm.

Cobbetts was acquired by DWF via a pre-pack deal last February and Muth became a partner at the firm, which subsequently amalgamated its own Birmingham business and that of Cobbetts at a new base at One Snowhill.

Muth described going into administration and the subsequent takeover as an interesting experience but one that he wouldn’t like to repeat.

He deals with all aspects of corporate finance, including mergers, acquisitions and disposals for both private and public companies. He also has particular expertise in venture capital work including management buy-outs and buy-ins.

Legal industry ‘bible’ Chambers described Muth as a “prominent figure in the West Midlands”.

It added: “Muth is highly regarded by peers: He really knows his stuff.”

Specialist business law firm Hill Hofstetter is based at Blythe Valley Park in Solihull.
