LG ranked as number one legal adviser to AIM clients in latest Hemscott advisers guide
International business law firm Lawrence Graham LLP ("LG") has been named as the top legal adviser to AIM clients in the latest Hemscott AIM Advisers Rankings Guide.
It is the 13th consecutive quarter LG has led on its own when rankings are calculated by market cap of clients.
Additionally, LG is the number one ranked law firm by market cap of clients and total number of clients in the guide's FTSE AIM UK 50 and FTSE AIM 100 tables.
The firm is also listed as the top legal adviser to AIM clients in the financials and utilities sectors by market cap of clients and total number of clients. For consumer services clients, LG also tops the table for market cap of clients. LG is ranked third as the law firm with the highest number of AIM clients in total - it currently has 41.
The publication states: "Lawrence Graham still tops all four tables at the larger end of the market."
Tom Nicholls, LG Corporate partner specialising in capital markets, said: "We are delighted to consolidate our position at the top of the AIM rankings, not least as we have seen a number of our clients move up from AIM onto the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.
"Whilst overall activity in the market remains patchy, certain sectors including mining and minerals, energy and oil and gas remain comparatively active."
