Kerman & Co LLP, the London based firm that is leading the way in mid market M&A deals and AIM listings, has announced some major promotions and new recruits. Joan Yu (Corporate) and John Evans (Litigation) have become Partners. Mark Cardale (ex Slaughter & May) joins as a Partner in Corporate, Peter Dempsey (ex Penningtons) joins to head up the Private Client department and Anthony Simmonds (ex senior partner of Simmons Gainsford) joins as a Consultant.
On the back of a successful first quarter that has seen the completion of 14 deals from the corporate commercial team alone, the firm feels that now is the time to capitalise on the growth in the market. Commenting on the people moves Managing Partner, Daniel O’Connell, said “We have some truly talented people in the firm and these promotions recognise that fact, but as a growing business we also need to bring in big hitters from outside. That we are able to attract lawyers of the calibre of Mark and Peter and experienced consultants like Tony speaks volumes for the quality of work on offer and the stature of the clients they will be working with.”
