I joined the Higgs corporate law team as a partner in December 2023. Prior to joining Higgs, I was a partner of another large regional law firm where I set up and led their West Midlands corporate offering. I have significant experience in mergers, acquisitions, disposals, reorganisations and joint ventures across all markets, specialising in particular in health and social care and healthtech, as well as manufacturing. I have nurtured strong working relationships with professionals in the SME market and West Midlands region, including corporate finance advisers, accountants and tax specialists, helping to achieve best results for my clients. I take a pragmatic and commercial approach to guiding clients through complex transactions and take pride in being able to walk clients through negotiations in a way that allows them to take informed decisions in their best interests.

Excellent & Efficient

Joel Nixon and Matthew Allen recently assisted us in successfully completing an acquisition for our firm. They were professional and efficient throughout the entire process, consistently turning things around quickly and delivering an excellent level of service at every stage. I look forward to working with them again on our next acquisition.

Sale of Business

From start to finish, I had the most wonderful support from Joel Nixon, Sara Shepherd, Rachael Watkins, Adam Hussain and Sarah Bradford. A very frustrating time selling a business, but without the knowledge and experience of this team I most definitely wouldn't have lasted.

Business sale

We engaged Higgs following a recommendation from an advisor we were working with who had used Higgs for the sale of their own business. We've had a fantastic service from them, providing outstanding levels of advice and support throughout the process which has truly protected our interests and meant that we could go through the whole process feeling safe in their hands... And now we can relax!

Excellent, friendly service

John Heaton and his team worked with us on the sale of our business. They were all friendly, courteous and easy to deal with. Any problems were solved in a pragmatic way. I would recommend them to anyone.
