Paul Batchelor

Paul advises business owners, management teams, private equity investors and corporate groups on mergers and acquisitions, private equity investments, joint ventures, shareholder arrangements and group restructurings. He has handled transactions ranging from £5 million to over £100 million and has particular experience of deals involving private equity-backed growth platforms.

His experience spans a range of sectors, including health and social care, industrials, technology, telecoms, leisure, and support services and regulated gaming.

Paul also has significant experience in complex solvent restructurings, working alongside tax specialists for high-net-worth family offices and international corporate groups. He regularly advises property developers on the corporate aspects of large-scale mixed-use schemes, including joint ventures with institutional investors and local authorities.

Outside of work, he has two daughters and spends most weekends driving around the country to support their sporting activities. He is also the drummer in the Demons of Tune, a band made up of corporate finance professionals from the Midlands who donate all the profits from their gigs to local Midlands-based charities.
