Members of our Financial Services M&A team Paul Pugh, Shelley Evans, Joel Clendinning, Lowri Roberts and Emma Jones recently advised longstanding client Specialist Risk Group (SRG) on its agreement to acquire insurance intermediary CBC Partnership, subject to all necessary regulatory approvals. 

The deal marks SRG’s largest acquisition to date and adds to SRG’s portfolio of specialist businesses. Partners Colin Askew and Danny Blum also led on key workstreams. Our wider team comprised a cross practice group involving members of our commercial, employment, pensions, corporate tax and Real Estate groups. 

Shelley Evans, principal associate in the corporate team, comments “It was our absolute pleasure to provide our insurance M&A expertise in advising SRG on this milestone acquisition following on from a number of recent acquisitions in 2023. We wish the SRG and CBC Partnership teams all the best in the next exciting chapter of the SRG growth story.”
