Browne Jacobson advises Hawkswell Kilvington on its transaction with Beyond Law Group
UK and Ireland law firm Browne Jacobson has advised the owners of award-winning construction law specialist Hawkswell Kilvington on transaction with Beyond Law Group, the Manchester-based legal services group backed by Waterland Private Equity.
The transaction brings together Hawkswell Kilvington's nationally respected construction team with Beyond Corporate's construction practice to create a strengthened national construction offering. Hawkswell Kilvington becomes Beyond Law Group's fifth specialist legal practice and will operate as Hawkswell Kilvington Construction Law from Manchester, Leeds and London.
The addition of Hawkswell Kilvington's 20-strong construction team increases Beyond Law Group's headcount to over 130, with projected revenues expected to exceed £20m in this financial year.
Hawkswell Kilvington's existing management team of Daniel Silberstein and Thomas Salter, together with James Flynn who heads Beyond Corporate's construction team, will lead the day-to-day management of the practice. Daniel Silberstein will remain as Managing Partner of Hawkswell Kilvington Construction Law and will also join the Board of Beyond Law Group.
The Browne Jacobson team was led by Partner Ryan Brown, and supported by Associates Miranda Foy, Alex O'Donoughue and Laura Dunn and trainee solicitor Anne Gascoigne in corporate. Principal Associate Craig Thomas supported with tax and Associate Tim Williams supported with the employment aspects.
Ryan Brown, Partner at Browne Jacobson, said: "This deal represents an exciting milestone for Hawkswell Kilvington in its growth journey. The transaction provides the business with an excellent platform to accelerate its ambitions as part of Beyond Law Group, whilst preserving the specialist expertise and strong brand that Hawkswell Kilvington has built as a leading construction practice."
Daniel Silberstein, Managing Partner at Hawkswell Kilvington Construction Law, commented: "Browne Jacobson provided excellent advice throughout this process. Their expertise and commercial approach were invaluable in helping us achieve a successful outcome that positions our team for the next stage of growth within Beyond Law Group."
