The Corporate team is regularly shortlisted in the South East Dealmakers Awards and in 2022 Rebecca Glazebrook won the prestigious Corporate Lawyer of the Year Award. We are currently shortlisted for the Corporate Law Firm of the Year Award 2023 and one of our 2022 transactions (the sale of Leander International Pet Foods to Alphapet) has been shortlisted as Deal of the Year (£10m+).

Flexible working opportunities:

We believe our natural workplace is within the office here in Horsham.  Here, over and above fulfilling our job roles, it is a place for us to collaborate, build relationships with each other and connect as a wider team. We are very proud of the working environment we have created in Horsham. However, we also recognise that utilising technology enables us to get the most out of our time. Our flexible working framework allows our team to work at home or in the office but at its core is the need to ensure that our clients’, firm’s and teams’ needs are met. We are happy to share a copy of our framework guidance note with a Candidate.
