New arrivals in Bermans Corporate team

Barney Leaf

Bermans has made two appointments to its Corporate team. The team, led by Jon Davage, welcomed Barney Leaf as a partner and Simon Nolan as a Solicitor from Laytons LLP.

Barney has over 20 years of corporate law experience and acts for international and domestic businesses in many sectors ranging from retail, online, law firms, insurance, finance and investment funds.

Joining Barney from Laytons will be his assistant solicitor, Simon Nolan.  Simon will undertake the variety of corporate instructions that are generated by the varied portfolio of clients that Bermans acts for.

Team head Jon Davage comments “Now is obviously a time of great uncertainty for the whole economy We are fortunate to be able to add strength and depth in our department with the skills that Simon and Barney bring and will assist Bermans in  our service offering significantly at the start of the recovery.

Barney Leaf comments “As law firms have evolved greatly over the last decade Bermans is perfectly positioned to deliver legal services to owner managed businesses in the new decade in the way that owner managers require. There was a natural fit between myself and Bermans not only in our similar client base but also in relation to how we deliver our service to our clients.”

The North West Corporate team advised on over £90M of corporate acquisitions, share sales and equity investments during the last 6 months, a record for the team across the North West.
