Freeths LLP have won Corporate Law Firm of the Year at Insider’s South Yorkshire Dealmakers Awards 2022 following a record year.

The firm’s Sheffield team was recognised in what has been a busy year, advising on 25 transactions during the qualifying period.

The judges were impressed by the work Freeths put in to build its portfolio of good-quality, regional deals, reflected in the standard of its submission. They added that Freeths is very active in the marketplace, generating plenty of deals and working hard to build its profile in such a competitive landscape.

The Corporate team was also shortlisted in the Deal of the Year category for its work on three of the four deals. This includes the sale of The Floow to Otonomo, Additive Manufacturing Technologies, and the disposal of Hodge Clemco to SurfacePrep.

Commenting on the award, Peter Crawford, Head of the Sheffield corporate team, said: “I am very proud of the team and am delighted that we have received this recognition.  I would like to place on record my thanks to all of them for their dedication and hard work, and would also like to thank the fantastic clients and other advisers who we are privileged to work with in this region.”
