Acuity Law maintains a sizeable presence in the capital, with the strength-in-depth to handle a significant range and volume of corporate instructions. Steve Berry is often at the forefront of the most challenging mandates handled by the team, including in relation to strategic M&A as well as work in the venture capital space. The healthcare sector remains a fertile source of work, with both Beverley Jones and Jon Lawley handling a vast amount of transactions, including for leading UK care home operators and social care providers on their growth strategies. The vastly experienced Paul Lowe excels in handling cross-border M&A matters, while the firm’s strong commercial offering is spearheaded by Declan Goodwin, who excels in advising on strategic IT-based projects and provides ‘excellent IP and contract support’. Christian Farrow and Tom Saunderson departed in 2024.
