mfg Solicitors—Nick Little

Corporate team expands in Birmingham with partner hire

Law firm mfg Solicitors has appointed Nick Little as a partner in its corporate department, continuing the growth of its Birmingham team. Based at the firm’s Waterloo Street office in the city’s Colmore Business District, he will advise clients on mergers and acquisitions, disposals and corporate advisory mandates.

Little joins from Shoosmiths and will work closely with Clare Lang (pictured, left), partner and head of the corporate department. Lang said Little had built ‘a superb reputation over more than a decade as a corporate solicitor’ and added: ‘We’re delighted to have him join the team.’

Commenting on the move, Little said he was attracted by the ‘first-class reputation’ of the corporate team as well as the firm’s ‘clear ambition and growth plans’. He added: ‘To be part of Clare’s team is an exciting move for me.’

His arrival follows the recent appointments of corporate partners Matt Smith, Philip Chapman and Andrew Johnson as mfg Solicitors continues to expand its corporate offering across the Midlands.
