Howes Percival Corporate legal team hits £828m in deals amid growing sector expertise

Published 18th June 2025 by Howes Percival

Howes Percival’s corporate team has closed £828 million worth of deals in the last financial year, driven by sustained expansion and increasing demand for specialist legal services. The team now comprises 10 partners and 37 staff across the firm’s offices, following four years of strategic investment.

Growth has been fuelled by a rising volume of complex, high-value transactions and strengthened by expertise in key sectors including automotive, technology, food and beverage, healthcare, development, and tourism. The firm also operates a dedicated banking and finance service for both lenders and borrowers.

Notable recent transactions include the acquisition of Central Foods by Gressingham Foods, Group 1 Automotive UK’s multiple acquisitions, and the sale of Bluesky International to US-based Woolpert. Other high-profile deals involved C. Brewer & Sons, QTS Limited, BGIS, and Hancock & Gore.

The performance cements Howes Percival’s position as a key legal advisor on M&A activity and corporate transactions across its regional strongholds.
