Lawrence Graham consolidates its position as top AIM legal adviser
International business law firm Lawrence Graham LLP ("LG") has been named top legal adviser to AIM clients in the Hemscott rankings for the third quarter of 2010. It is the sixth consecutive quarter that it has held this position.
LG's Corporate team has retained its position as the leading legal adviser to AIM clients by number of clients and market capitalisation. It is also top legal adviser by number of clients and market capitalisation to both FTSE AIM 50 and FTSE AIM 100 clients. LG is also ranked first as legal advisers to AIM clients in the Financial Institutions and Industrial sectors.
The Hemscott rankings guide states: "Another clean sweep of the four tables covering the larger companies on the junior market is achieved by Lawrence Graham for the sixth consecutive quarter, a record that has remained intact ever since the law firm conquered the last peak of client numbers for the AIM 100 in July last year."
In November 2009, LG became the first single law firm to lead on all four tables for the first time since the AIM Rankings Guides have been published.
Tom Nicholls, Corporate partner specialising in capital markets said: "We are delighted to further consolidate our position at the top of the Hemscott rankings and would hope to see those numbers increase further in due course in light of the existing pipeline of IPOs currently underway."
LG is hosting its annual NOMAD conference next June (date to be confirmed).
