Michelmores in top flight for deal-making

Exeter and London based Michelmores Solicitors has been shortlisted in the South West Dealmakers Awards 2011 in the category of Corporate Law Firm of the Year.

The award recognises the leading South West law firms that have been busy creating and delivering deals in 2010 and the first half of this year and the winner will be announced on Wednesday 22 June at the Grand by Thistle in Bristol.

The other shortlisted candidates are two Bristol based 'heavyweight' firms of Burges Salmon and Osborne Clarke. The nomination recognises Michelmores' growing reputation as one of the "elite" deal-making law firms operating across the South West as a whole.

Stephen Morse, Head of Michelmores Business Group, said: "Reaching this shortlist is a testimony to the hard work of the business team at Michelmores and not only recognises ability and expertise but also innovation and leadership."

Richard Cobb, Corporate Finance Partner, commented: "We are particularly delighted as the three shortlisted firms came top in a popular vote among the region's corporate finance community and company directors. This constitutes a truly independent assessment of the quality of work we are delivering alongside our top ranking positions in the Legal 500 and Chambers."
