The team advised on 15 completed deals to Q3, with multiple transactions closed since and further completions expected before year-end, reinforcing its position as the leading force in East Anglia’s mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market.
This milestone reflects the team’s consistent delivery of strategic advice across business sales, acquisitions, succession planning and management buyouts, helping clients navigate complex transactions in a fast-moving environment. It also underscores the firm’s ability to combine regional insight with national reach, ensuring East Anglia businesses are represented on the wider stage.
Adding to this success, Larking Gowen was recently named winner of Deal of the Year (sub £10m) at the Central & East Dealmakers Awards 2025, recognising the firm’s ability to achieve outstanding results for mid-market clients.

James Lay, Larking Gowen partner, added: “This award means a great deal to the team. It reflects the trust placed in us, by clients across East Anglia and the collaborative ethos that underpins everything we do.”
