Freeths celebrates triple triumph at Business Insider Dealmakers Awards 2025

Leading law firm Freeths has won three prestigious accolades at the Central and Eastern Business Insider Dealmakers Awards 2025, marking a standout achievement for the firm’s Milton Keynes Corporate team.

These awards celebrate excellence across the region’s corporate and dealmaking landscape, recognising firms and individuals who demonstrate outstanding performance, innovation, and impact in the legal and business sectors.

Freeths was honoured in an unprecedented three categories: Corporate Law Firm of the Year, Deal of the Year (value over £50m), and International Deal of the Year.

These wins reflect the team’s exceptional dedication to delivering high-value, complex transactions and their commitment to client service. The winning deal involved a significant due diligence exercise coordinated from Milton Keynes, with contributions from over 30 Freeths lawyers across multiple service lines and offices – a testament to the firm’s teamwork and national reach.

Commenting on the team’s success, Managing Partner of Freeths’ Milton Keynes, Jonathan Hambleton said: “This is a brilliant achievement for the team and a real endorsement of the calibre, ambition and collaborative spirit we have here at Freeths. Securing three awards in one evening is a rare feat and speaks volumes about the hard work and dedication of everyone involved. These awards, which come so soon after our move to our new office space, send a strong message to the market about our continued momentum and commitment to excellence.”
