Team And Individuals Recognised By South East Dealmakers Awards

Law firm Irwin Mitchell’s corporate team has been nominated for three awards at the South East Dealmakers Awards, confirming its growing reputation in the corporate space in the UK.

Nominated for Corporate Law Firm of the Year, the award submission highlights the success the team has accrued in 2017. Irwin Mitchell’s Equity Capital Markets team has advised on several alternative investment market (AIM) transactions in 2017, including Destiny Pharma Plc’s placing and admission to AIM with a market cap of £65 million.

The transaction, led by Daniel Bastide, a corporate partner from Irwin Mitchell’s Gatwick office, has been shortlisted for Deal of the Year (over £10 million).  The firm was also delighted to see Bill Love, founder and chief scientific officer of Destiny Pharma, nominated for Entrepreneur of the Year, and in October, sponsored the AIM awards for the second consecutive year.

The nominations at the South East Dealmakers Awards continue with Faye Bargery, a corporate partner at Irwin Mitchell’s Gatwick office nominated for Corporate Lawyer of the Year. George De Silvo, a corporate solicitor also from Irwin Mitchell’s Gatwick office completes the nominations, being nominated for Young Dealmaker of the Year.

The ceremony takes place at The Copthorne Hotel at Effingham Park on Thursday 1 February 2018.
