Higgs LLP’s Corporate team has had an exceptional start to the 2025 financial year, advising on 46 transactions to completion totalling an aggregate deal value of over £180million between 1 January and 5 April 2025.
These figures mark a record pace that reflects the firm's growing reputation for delivering complex, high-value deals across sectors. The team is also currently ranked 1st in the West Midlands by Experian based on deal volumes and is the only regional firm to feature in the top 10 nationally.
This run of activity includes a diverse range of standout transactions such as the sale of Black Country headquartered Boss Design, a landmark investment into the Birmingham Panthers netball team by Knighthead, and multiple acquisitions for accountants BK+.
The team also advised GridEdge on its funding round led by Mercia, alongside Centrica and bp Ventures, cementing the firm’s credentials in high growth sectors such as cleantech and sustainability, and further demonstrated its international credentials in advising on the cross-border sale of Boom Training to Lithuanian education consolidator, Turing College.
As the pace of M&A and investment activity accelerates both regionally in the West Midlands and also across the UK, the multi-faceted Higgs LLP team has reinforced its standing with three new recruits, bringing fresh expertise to support a growing and increasingly international client base. The team’s recent success builds on strong foundations of collaboration, sector insight, and a strategic approach to client delivery.
"This performance is a real testament to the talent, energy, and cohesion within our Corporate team. Completing 46 deals in just over three months, and doing so with such diversity and impact reflects the unrivalled trust our clients place in us and our ability to consistently deliver results. This, twinned with fresh talent joining the team and momentum firmly on our side, we're incredibly excited about what's ahead for the rest of 2025."
