I would have no hesitation in recommending Rafael, or any of the Birketts team.”
The Chelmsford office partner, Rafael Ruiz, who led the Birketts team on the transaction, said: “The complexity and value of the transaction, involving shareholders here in the UK as well as in South Africa, and the Channel Islands, combined with a tight deal timetable, necessitated teams from our Chelmsford and Norwich offices working together closely.
