Sheffield-based MD Law surpasses £100 million in corporate deals

The corporate law team of Sheffield-based MD Law has announced that it has completed deals worth a cumulative value of more than £100 million over the last year.

The team’s activities have included acting for the owners on the sale of a 78-bed, purpose-built Middlesex care home; the disposal of a Sheffield-based commercial laundry business to a nationwide provider and the conversion of a South Yorkshire law firm to 100 per cent employee ownership.

The legal work was completed by MD Law’s James Burdekin, who specialises in commercial and corporate law, and who became the fifth partner at the expanding Broomhall-based firm in October 2021, and solicitor Natalie Gibson who joined earlier this year.

Mr Burdekin said: “The team has had a great start, picking up a number of significant instructions – many recommended by our local contacts in accountancy and finance. Despite economic uncertainty and a harder market, the outlook is still looking positive, with many deals in the pipeline as there is funding available.
