Law firm achieves record breaking year as deals value surpasses £500m

The corporate and commercial team at law firm Keebles has reported a record breaking year as it acted on over 60 deals with a combined value of more than £550m in 2018.

Keebles, which has offices in Sheffield, Leeds and Doncaster, also revealed that the team has a strong pipeline of deals for completion across Q1 and Q2 in 2019.

Transactions in 2018 include advising on the £45m sale of Altek Group to the Harsco Corporation and representing IFA, the aerospace and industrial forger, on its £8.5m investment by BGF.

Keebles also supported Ask4 on its secondary buyout by Bowmark Capital and acted for Pressure Technologies in its disposal of Hydratron to Pryme Group.

Matt Ainsworth, head of Keebles’ corporate and commercial team, said: “2018 has marked a trailblazing year with deals volumes topping half a billion pounds for our rapidly expanding client base. Despite the increasing political uncertainties surrounding Brexit, we are confident that 2019 will be another formative year for our continued growth.”

One of Yorkshire’s largest law firms, Keebles has more than 200 employees including 19 partners.
