Lawrence Graham consolidates position as top AIM legal adviser
10 May 2010
International business law firm Lawrence Graham LLP (LG) remains top legal adviser to AIM clients in the Hemscott rankings for the second quarter of 2010.
LG's Corporate team has retained its position as the leading legal adviser to AIM clients by market capitalisation and top legal adviser by number of clients and market capitalisation to both FTSE AIM 50 and FTSE AIM 100 clients. LG recorded the only change in the UK 50 rankings, with a single gain for the second consecutive quarter. LG is also ranked first as legal advisers to AIM clients in the Financial Institutions and Industrial sectors.
The Hemscott rankings guide states: "The undisputed leader at the larger end of the junior market remains LG – it heads all four tables."
In November 2009, LG became the first single law firm to lead on all four tables for the first time, since the AIM Rankings Guides have been published.
Tom Nicholls, Corporate partner specialising in the AIM market said: "We are delighted to consolidate our position at the top of the Hemscott rankings which also mirrors our position as No.1 legal adviser in the Business XL AIM Adviser Index. We are continuing to add new AIM clients to our practice and, in turn, we are also seeing similar growth to our Main Market practice – in April we advised long-standing client, Indian power company KSK Power Ventur plc, in connection with its move up from AIM to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange."
LG is hosting its annual NOMAD conference on 22 June 2010.
Notes to editors:
- LG advises entrepreneurial and growth market clients seeking to raise capital for their business ventures. We are named as adviser to nine of the AIM 100 companies, with no other firm listed as acting for more than five.
- Hemscott said: "Lawrence Graham records the only change in the UK 50 rankings. With a single gain for the second consecutive quarter it now doubles the number of clients of joint second placed DLA Piper, Eversheds and Pinsent Masons and it has also moved further in front in the market caps reckonings."
