Located out of Shrewsbury, Ludlow and Conwy, the Lanyon Bowdler practice is characterised by its ‘flexibility’, regularly advising on sales and mergers, management buyouts, alongside complex joint ventures. With the department displaying significant expertise in the agriculture, education and retail industries, the ’exceptional’ Grainne Walters spearheads the outfit from Shrewsbury, primarily focusing on M&A and corporate governance matters. In Ludlow, Edward Burrell is an expert on commercial contracts and franchise agreements, and Conwy-based Jennifer Edwards is also a name to note.
