Joining the firm over 18 years ago, Neil has spent the majority of his career at Rickitt Mitchell and, in that time, has advised on transactions valued in excess of £1.5bn. He has led countless disposals, acquisitions, private equity and IPO processes to a successful conclusion, many of which have had an international or private equity angle.

Neil has shaped and steered the development of the team in the last 18 years, driving the wider organisations objectives forward. He has successfully provided advice to corporates, management teams, entrepreneurs and private equity houses on a range of mid-market transactions and built an exceptional following of clients and professionals alike.
