DEALMAKERS & TRAILBLAZERS

With over 50 Deals focused people across the UK and hubs in London and the Midlands, the CP Deals team features some of the most accomplished and exciting talent in the market.

Being a permanent feature in the Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For, our culture attracts the best of the best.

They include leaders who’ve left behind the red tape and sluggish processes of the likes of the Big 4 and national firms in search of more entrepreneurial, dynamic work.

Our senior team doesn’t just get involved in the initial pitch, after which you never see them (it happens, a lot). They lead from the front, providing leadership to our teams as well as delivering value to our clients along the way.

As experts in the mid-market space, we bring an entrepreneurial mindset to our advice for clients, whether you’re an entrepreneur, corporate, or a private equity investor.
