Midlands law firm Higgs & Sons has welcomed Adrian Cutler to its corporate team.

Mr Cutler joins the Brierley Hill-based firm as a partner from DWF, bringing with him more than 15 years of experience in mid-market mergers and acquisitions.

He has a proven track record of advising owner managers and entrepreneurs on a variety of corporate transactions and projects.

“I am hoping to build on the already strong and positive reputation of the corporate team and the firm generally,” said Mr Cutler.

“In my opinion, there are very few firms that demonstrate a commitment to the small and medium enterprise marketplace and that can offer the quality of technical ability and service delivery as well as Higgs can.”

Mr Cutler has extensive experience in private equity deals, acting for a number of private equity houses and management teams alike. He is also well versed in green and clean tech, recycling and high growth and early stage businesses.

Nick Taylor, head of corporate at Higgs, said: “This is an exciting addition to our growing team. Adrian brings with him the experience we need to meet the expectations of our clients.

 “2014 has been fast-paced and hugely successful for the corporate team thus far, and our objective is to continue adding high calibre individuals like Adrian to further expand our offering in the Midlands and beyond.”
