Regional law firm mfg Solicitors has strengthened its corporate team with the appointment of partner Philip Chapman, who joins from Knights plc. He reports to Clare Lang (pictured, left), partner and head of the corporate department, and will advise clients across the firm’s Birmingham and Black Country offices.
Chapman is a corporate and commercial transaction specialist, advising on matters including management buy-outs, mergers and acquisitions, business disposals and reorganisations for corporate and owner-managed businesses. His arrival comes as the firm continues to expand its corporate offering across the region.
Clare Lang said Chapman joins ‘at the perfect time as we bolster our team and increase our footprint across the region’, adding that he is ‘a hugely respected corporate and commercial specialist’ who brings ‘significant experience to an already strong team’.
Chapman said: ‘You can’t fail to be attracted to mfg Solicitors’, describing the firm’s ‘formidable reputation and strong regional presence’, and added that joining Clare’s team was ‘something I jumped at’ at ‘such an exciting time in the firm’s growth’.
