Leeds-based Blacks Solicitors has promoted Rebecca Holden to head of corporate and appointed her to the equity partnership.
Rebecca brings more than 15 years’ experience advising on UK and international corporate transactions, including M&A and private equity deals.
She has worked with a wide range of clients, from high-net-worth individuals to major organisations, on complex, high-value transactions.
Rebecca said: “Blacks offer the opportunity to work on high-quality, complex matters within an environment that combines autonomy with a strong level of support from a highly capable team.
“The team has seen sustained growth and continues to build its profile in terms of expertise and client service, with clear ambitions for future growth.
“The opportunity to develop a boutique Corporate practice, focused on high standards of client service alongside a proportionate approach to costs, was a key factor in my decision to join the firm.
“It is an important and exciting period for the team as it continues to strengthen its position in the mid-market.
“Blacks is increasingly seeing traction with deals that it may not have previously been considered for, reflecting growing market recognition.
“Over the next twelve months, we hope to double the size of the team through both organic growth and lateral hires, building on the progress achieved to date and to satisfy ongoing demand.”
Chris Allen, managing partner at Blacks Solicitors, added: “Rebecca’s promotion marks an important step in the continued growth of our Corporate team.
“Nigel Hoyle, who has played a pivotal role in developing the team, will remain actively involved in the business, ensuring continuity as Rebecca takes on this leadership role.
“We are excited about the future as we are expanding into two floors at 29 King Street and are looking forward to continuing to deliver an exceptional client experience.”
