James Towler

The Head of our Corporate and Commercial Department, James Towler, has been named winner of a Finance Monthly Deal Maker Award in recognition of a deal he completed on behalf of Norwich City FC.

The deal resulted in a group led by Mark Attanasio successfully acquiring shares from a variety of holders, including long-serving club director Michael Foulger’s holding.

The McCormicks team, led by James, acted on behalf of both the club and current joint majority shareholders Delia Smith and Michael Wynn Jones.

The Finance Monthly Deal Maker awards were established 13 years ago and recognise the bankers, venture capitalists, lawyers and accountants who initiate, structure and negotiate deals for growing organisations. The awards are based on deals completed in the fiscal year 2021/22.

McCormicks has also been named Best Sport & Media Legal Service Provider 2023 – Yorkshire by SME News in its fifth annual UK Legal Awards.
