Corporate lawyer | Dealmaker | Senior leader | Connector As a senior leader within the firm-wide corporate team at Napthens LLP, and Head of our Liverpool City Region office, I bring over 25 years’ experience advising businesses and investors on all aspects of corporate transactions — from early-stage ventures and family-owned companies to owner managed businesses, large corporates and institutional investors. I advise across multiple sectors on mergers and acquisitions, buy-and-build strategies, disposals, venture capital and private equity investments, succession planning, joint ventures and shareholder reorganisations. I’m proud to be part of an award-winning corporate team, regularly ranked in the top three by Experian Corpfin as one of the most active M&A teams in the North West and across the UK. Having served on the Napthens Board, I bring a broader, commercial perspective to client advice — combining legal expertise with firsthand experience of the challenges and opportunities that come with running and growing a business. Recognised by The Legal 500 as a “Leading Individual” in corporate law in the North West, clients describe me as “a stand-out corporate lawyer” with “vast experience and exceptional communication skills.” As Founder and Chair of the Liverpool City Region Corporate Finance Group, now with over 100 active members, I’m deeply connected within the region’s corporate finance and business community — helping clients access the right expertise and opportunities to achieve their ambitions.

    Kieran Donavan and his team were extremely effective in helping effect our merger. They were prompt in responding, pragmatic and great communicators. They made the transaction straightforward, looking for solutions rather than creating problems to max out fees which can so often be the risk with some corporate solicitors. I would recommend Kieran without hesitation.
