At Hamlins, we don’t try to be all things to all people. Merger and acquisition, fundraising, listing or joint venture – it could be the most important move your business ever makes

So you want the right advisors on your side. And that means finding people who really specialise.

Working closely with our specialist media team, we have developed a reputation as a ‘go to’ firm for media and tech sector deals, regularly acting for digital content businesses.

Recent deals include the £60m merger of two leading online estate agency businesses.

In the hospitality and leisure sector we recently advised on the sale of a flagship London restaurant, and continue to advise a rapidly expanding group of European hotels.

Our strong reputation in the real estate sector ensures a steady flow of instructions, and we are often called on to advise major institutional and private investors on corporate and real estate transactions.
