DTM Legal celebrate another bumper year

A North West law firm is celebrating after enjoying another bumper year for the business, with over 280 new client wins and corporate deals alone totalling nearly £50 million.

Fast-growing law firm DTM Legal, which has offices in Liverpool and Chester, says 2016 has been another record-breaking year for the business.

The firm, which serves a corporate base across the North West, North Wales and beyond, works with clients across a diverse range of sectors including the manufacturing, healthcare, property, leisure, retail and education sectors.

Since January 2016, the Corporate and Commercial team have successfully worked on deals totalling £48 million, including securing a major investment for Liverpool-based technology company Vast Visibility from London private equity firm HgCapital.

Eight of the partners and associates from DTM Legal were also recognised in this year’s Legal 500, including head of DTM’s dispute resolution team Jim Morris, who was praised for his ability ‘to get to grips with any matter swiftly’ when advising on a range of commercial disputes.

The property and construction teams saw significant expansion with three key appointments including associate Guy Thomas, consultant Ted Quinn and trainee solicitor Safeena McGuirk. The growing teams have handled a number of high profile deals, including working with property investment and development company Atmore to secure the sale of 44 properties from its national high street retail portfolio, totalling c. £20 million.

This year, the employment team at DTM Legal, who co-founded the North West HR Group alongside The Leadership Team saw the group grow significantly. Since its inception in 2014 it now delivers training and workshops to over 40 senior HR professionals from across the region.

Anna Duffy, Head of Commercial Property at DTM Legal, said: “We had a fantastic year in 2015 and we are delighted that we have managed to build on this momentum even further in 2016. We have seen substantial growth for all areas of the business, which as always is testament to the great team we have here at DTM. We are confident 2017 will bring further exciting developments for the business and we look forward to growing our presence and client base even further in the new year.”

DTM Legal works closely with clients to provide a broad spectrum of legal advice on issues including corporate and commercial law, commercial property, construction, employment law, intellectual property, business recovery and disputes.

The company was established seven years ago in Chester and opened its Liverpool office in The Plaza in August 2013.
