Browne Jacobson hits a double century


10 March 2008


Midlands law firm Browne Jacobson has scored a double century, advising on 100 corporate finance deals, as well as reaching the same milestone in terms of staff numbers at its Birmingham office.

The proudly regional firm is convinced that its local approach to meeting clients’ needs is part of the success it has enjoyed on several fronts. While the firm’s tailored and personal approach to corporate legal advice is a hallmark of its service, the strong team-based culture and emphasis on the individual explains the business’s consistently high ranking as an employer of choice.

Joanne Bligh, corporate finance partner at Browne Jacobson’s Birmingham office, said:

“Our success in reaching the magic century when it comes to deals and people is a huge shot in the arm for the business, which continues to grow on the basis of understanding clients’ businesses and investing in our people.

“We believe that long-term success can only be built on really understanding our clients and the industries in which they operate. It’s also about having a genuine relationship with people within our client organisations. That means spending time with clients, which requires professionals who can operate within a commercial environment and speak the language of business, not just the courtroom.”

Over the last year, Browne Jacobson has advised on some of the biggest corporate deals in the region including TT Electronics plc, Aggregate Industries and SOL Construction.

Its Birmingham office now employs 103 people. The firm was ranked 47 in an annual table of the top 100 places to work by the Sunday Times.
