Muckle LLP builds north east's largest banking team
Newcastle commercial law firm, Muckle LLP, is leading the way with the largest team of banking lawyers in the North East.
The past few years have been challenging for law firms and this has required fresh thinking as businesses have adjusted in a continually changing economic climate. Over the past five years, however, Muckle has more than doubled the size of its banking team and seen significant growth in the turnover of the group. Last year, the team saw 12% growth and anticipates similar growth once again this year.
Partner and head of the banking and restructuring team, Louise Duffy, says: “We’ve been growing organically over the past five years as we have gained market share. People have been recruited into the team and we have also promoted from within. As a result, we have expanded our offering with specialists covering many different areas, from property finance to business restructuring, financial services disputes and capital markets.
"Our most recent recruit is senior associate, Nicola Nutley, who joined us from Bond Dickinson. It is great to add Nicola to our team. She is widely known in the region and has significant experience in the banking and finance sector.
“Our lawyers continue to develop innovative solutions for clients, often incorporating complex financing techniques, which are becoming an integral part of what we do. In the past year, we completed high value transactions for a number of financial institutions and borrowers."
