We’re proud to announce our Corporate Finance team from our TC Knill James office was awarded ‘Transaction Services Team of the Year’ at the Insider South East Dealmakers Awards! 🏆
Our team was undoubtedly thrilled to be presented with this prestigious and well-deserved award, which was hosted by comedian and renowned Chaser from the hit gameshow ‘The Chase’, Paul Sinha.
This was a real team achievement and a hugely deserved recognition for the talented people across our advisory teams from our Lewes office, who prioritise collaborating effectively to support their clients. The quality, innovation and care they bring to their work every day genuinely sets them apart.
Kirsty Wilson, Partner at TC Knill James commented, “The South East is an incredibly strong region, full of fantastic businesses and advisers, and I feel very fortunate to work alongside so many high-calibre individuals on transactions. We truly value the collaboration that exists across the region — and it’s exciting to see what the coming year will bring.”
The judges’ feedback was extremely strong, commenting that, “TC Knill James showed good growth, with the judges especially liking the team’s use of AI and new ways of evolving the dealmaking process.”
“TC Knill James’ talented transaction services team achieved significant growth, delivering exceptional regional as well as cross‑border transactions, with overall technical excellence and outstanding client service, cementing its reputation as trusted and dynamic advisers.”
Insider also confirmed this was a highly competitive year, noting, “This year we had a record number of entries and sold out the venue well in advance, so winning is a fantastic achievement. The judging process had to be extended due to the strength of this year’s entries, but the feedback given on all of your successes was that you were clear winners.”
“While the award is for Transaction Services, it reflects a firm‑wide effort, with successful DD and transaction support projects over the past year requiring collaboration across CF, tax, audit and accounts teams.”
Congratulations to our team for their collaborative hard work and being recognised for it!
