Shepherd and Wedderburn closes deals of £5.7bn

Shepherd and Wedderburn’s corporate team has acted on over 72 deals spanning 12 sectors in the past year, including: energy and natural resources; media and technology; life sciences; and financial services. Collectively, the value of these deals amounted to £5.7 billion.

Andrew Blain, head of corporate at Shepherd and Wedderburn said: “2016 has been another good year, and also an interesting one for us. We have been able to work with a wide range of organisations — from large multinationals to owner-operated SMEs. I am grateful to our clients for providing us with such a diverse mix of deals — a blend of complex high value projects right through to those that are smaller and more straightforward in nature.

“There continues to be a lot of uncertainty in the market. But despite this, we have a good pipeline of work in place at the start of 2017, and are still seeing companies seeking to invest in or acquire businesses in key sectors such as technology, oil and gas, renewable energy and food and drink.”

Shepherd and Wedderburn acquired the Commercial Law Practice in Aberdeen last month.
