Wales > Corporate and commercial
(Hall of Fame)Geldards LLP provides ‘very responsive, efficient and great quality advice’ to a varied mix of domestic, UK-wide and international clients across a wide range of corporate and commercial work, including advice on M&A matters and assistance to businesses transitioning to employee ownership. ‘At the top of his game’, corporate head Andrew Morris
takes the lead on many of the most significant mandates and has a strong reputation in the local market as a result of his versatile practice that includes clients within the gaming, IT, healthcare and financial services sectors, among others. The ‘exceptional’ Alex Butler has made a strong impression since joining over two years ago from an in-house position and has very effectively rebuilt the firm’s venture capital and private equity credentials which took a slight hit at the beginning of 2021 following the departure of Geraint Tilsley. The ‘approachable and very talented’ Chris Williams leads a very strong commercial practice, which handles a myriad of commercial contracts work for private sector clients, as well as for central government and local authority clients.
