Freeths celebrates trio of deal wins at East Midlands Rainmaker Awards 2026

Freeths is celebrating after three transactions involving its Corporate team were named winners at the East Midlands Rainmaker Awards 2026.

The awards recognise the standout deals, teams and individuals across the East Midlands region’s corporate finance community, with winners voted for by the dealmaking community on a one-firm, one-vote basis.

The winning deals included LDC’s exit of Shaken Udder to Idilia, which was named Out of Region Deal of the Year; TextureJet’s seven-figure investment round, which won Early Stage Deal of the Year; and Eagle Eye Innovations’ eight-figure investment from LDC, which took home Medium Deal of the Year (£10m-£50m).

The wins were announced at the Crowne Plaza in Nottingham, where 300 professionals came together to celebrate the region’s leading dealmaking activity.

The recognition reflects the breadth of Freeths’ Corporate practice and its work advising businesses, investors and management teams on significant transactions across the East Midlands region and beyond.
