DMH Stallard—Helen Mead

Corporate finance specialist to join in Guildford

City firm DMH Stallard has announced the appointment of corporate finance expert Helen Mead to its regional M&A team.

Helen has spent more than 13 years with asb law, most recently as its head of corporate finance, a position she held for six years. She is now due to join DMH Stallard as a partner in the New Year, and will be based in its Guildford office.

Jonathan Grant, DMH Stallard’s head of corporate, said: ‘I have worked with Helen in the past and know how good she is, not just as an excellent M&A lawyer, but also as a client and team manager. Having someone of Helen’s experience join our senior team in Guildford is a huge step forward for us and I am absolutely delighted.

‘I know it has been a difficult decision for Helen who was reluctant to leave asb, where she had qualified and become a senior partner, but she wanted to balance the demands of an M&A partner with those of her young family.’
