Flint Bishop has been named Regional Legal Team of the Year at the 2026 East Midlands Rainmaker Awards, recognising the strength, expertise and contribution of our Corporate team within the region’s dealmaking community.
The Rainmaker Awards bring together the East Midlands corporate finance community to celebrate the standout deals, teams and advisers of the previous 12 months. Winners are selected by members of the corporate finance community on a one-firm, one-vote basis, making the awards a particularly meaningful form of peer recognition.
Our Corporate team emerged from a competitive shortlist that included Howes Percival, BHW Solicitors, Actons, Nelsons, Austin Moore & Partners and Rothera Bray.
Martyn Brierley, Partner & Head of Corporate & Finance at Flint Bishop, said:
“Being named Regional Legal Team of the Year is a fantastic achievement and one the whole team should be incredibly proud of. What makes the Rainmaker Awards particularly meaningful is that they are voted for by the corporate finance community, so this recognition comes directly from our peers – the advisers and professionals we work alongside across the dealmaking market.
“The award reflects the expertise and commitment our team brings to every transaction, as well as the trust our clients and the deal making community place in us to support our respective clients’ through some of their most significant business decisions.
“We have continued to strengthen our Corporate capability over the past year, and this recognition provides further momentum as we continue to grow the team and our presence in the regional and national deals market.”
The award reflects the significant work undertaken by the team over the past year, supporting businesses, shareholders, investors and management teams across a broad range of corporate transactions, while reflecting the firm’s continued investment in strengthening its Corporate and wider deals capability across the East Midlands and nationally.
