Beth Mather, commented: “It is fantastic to be named in so many categories this year. It has been an incredible team effort over the last 12 months, and we are delighted that both the team and the deals we have acted on have been recognised.
“Having three members of the team also shortlisted in the Corporate Lawyer of the Year category is a first for Gateley and underscores our position as one of the country’s leading national corporate law firms. Once again, it is an impressive shortlist at this year’s awards, demonstrating the strength, depth and resilience of the dealmaking community in the Midlands, and we wish everyone the very best of luck on the night.”
