HCR Law earns triple recognition at Thames Valley Deals Awards

HCR Law’s Thames Valley Corporate team has been shortlisted in three categories at this year’s Thames Valley Deals Awards.

The awards celebrate the individuals, teams and organisations driving the region’s dynamic corporate finance community, recognising outstanding dealmaking across the Thames Valley.

HCR has been nominated for Corporate Law Firm of the Year, while Partner and Head of the Thames Valley Corporate Team, Rachel Turner, is a finalist in both Dealmaker of the Year and Lawyer of the Year categories.

Reflecting the team’s impact on the region’s mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market, the nominations follow HCR’s continued top ranking in Experian’s latest MarketIQ report, which names the Thames Valley Corporate team as the South East’s most active dealmakers for another year running.

Reinforcing its commitment to the local business community, HCR Law is also sponsoring the Lender of the Year category at the awards.

Commenting on the team’s nominations, Rachel Turner said: “Being shortlisted in three categories is a real honour. It’s fantastic to see our team recognised for the work we’ve done supporting businesses across the South East.

“We’re deeply invested in the Thames Valley’s vibrant dealmaking community and these nominations reflect the strength and dedication of our team, as well as our focus on building strong relationships and delivering value for our clients.

“Best of luck to our fellow finalists – we look forward to celebrating on the night!”

The Thames Valley Deal Awards will take place on 13 November 2025 at Reading’s Select Car Leasing Stadium, hosted by TV presenter Mark Durden-Smith.
