Lewis Silkin has won the International Deal of the Year award at Insider's North West Dealmakers Awards for our work on the sale of Yordas Group to 3E.

These awards celebrate the people behind the deals and the contribution they make to businesses and the wider North West economy, including leading corporate financiers, accountants, bankers, funders, lawyers and M&A professionals.

Earlier this year, our Corporate team advised the shareholders of leading international provider of scientific consulting and regulatory content services Yordas Group, on a landmark transaction; its sale to 3E, the US-headquartered global provider of expert-led AI compliance solutions.  Insider Media described the deal as “a Lancashire university spin-out sold to a US buyer in a rapid turnaround, navigating multiple legal entities. A great regional deal, supported by some fantastic and heartfelt testimonials.”

The Lewis Silkin team was led by Corporate Partner Ashi Amershi, who was also shortlisted for M&A Lawyer of the Year, with support from (Corporate/Tax Senior Associate) Emma McGrory, (Employment Senior Associate) Johanna Cunningham and (Corporate Associate) Hope Bell.
