Davidson Webber LLP has further strengthened its practice with the appointment of Neil Large as corporate partner.
Mr Large, 33, trained and qualified in industry as an in-house lawyer with Northern Rock plc where he spent several years carrying out a variety of legal and commercial in-house roles. On qualification in 1996, he moved into private practice to focus his career on corporate finance work spending eight years with leading national law firms Ward Hadaway and Watson Burton. His expertise includes all aspects of mergers and acquisitions including MBOs/MBIs, de-mergers and corporate reorganisations, banking and private equity work, business turnarounds and start-ups, joint ventures and shareholders arrangements.
Mr Large said: “Davidson Webber is a modern, forward thinking and progressive law firm. It has a strong reputation and is going from strength to strength. Its lawyers (who all hail from national or international law firms) are commercially focused and provide practical legal advice. When presented with the opportunity to be part of the firms strategic growth and future ambitions and to further expand and build upon its corporate and commercial practice, I had no hesitation to take up the challenge.”
Russell Davidson, managing director said: “I am delighted Neil has joined the team – his breadth and depth of expertise will be instrumental in driving through the development of the practice at this formative time. Neil's arrival creates a good platform for the firm's further growth and expansion.”
Davidson Webber LLP has played a major role in numerous high-profile acquisitions and disposals valuing over £100 million in the last three years.
