"Browne Jacobson has advised Clearwater Corporate Finance UK on its acquisition by US regional bank KeyCorp, marking KeyCorp’s entry into the Western European market. Clearwater UK — a mid‑market corporate finance adviser with offices in Birmingham, London, Leeds and Manchester — will create a combined platform giving US private equity and corporate clients access to European acquisition targets and exits, and European institutional clients access to the US M&A market. The deal showcases Browne Jacobson’s international M&A capability (it ranked in the top ten for UK deal count in Mergermarket) and was led by corporate partners Gavin Cummings and Matt Dorman with tax and employment support."
