Shoosmiths Guides S&W Group Through Major UK Acquisitions as Growth Strategy Advances

Shoosmiths advised S&W Group, an accounting and advisory firm, on its acquisitions of ClearViewIP and Peppercorn Tax. The transactions comprise S&W’s acquisition of ClearViewIP, a London-based global intellectual property advisory firm that provides clients with intellectual property strategy, operational and transactional advisory services across a broad spectrum of market sectors. The acquisition broadens S&W’s intellectual property offering and complements its existing professional services. S&W also acquired Peppercorn Tax, a specialist tax advisory firm based in Newcastle. That transaction builds on S&W’s regional growth strategy in the north of England and strengthens its specialist tax capabilities. These deals are among S&W’s first UK acquisitions since partnering with Apax funds and continue a longstanding relationship that began when the business traded under the Evelyn Partners brand. Shoosmiths said the transactions both broaden S&W’s service offering and reinforce its commitment to regional growth and specialist expertise. Shoosmiths represented S&W Group with a team composed by: corporate partner Andrew Millar (Corporate); corporate partner Elia Montorio (Corporate); senior associate Daniel Pugh (Corporate); associate John Quinn (Corporate).
