BPE Solicitors is delighted to announce that Partner Kathryn King, Head of our Corporate and Commercial team, has been shortlisted in the Emerging Dealmaker category of the Insider South West Dealmakers Awards 2025.
The prestigious Insider South West Dealmaker Awards celebrates the leading figures that have played a role in driving forward investment, relationships and external interest in the South West region. Having been part of the team who won the Corporate Law Firm of the Year Award back in 2023, Kathryn is looking to add to her repertoire as an individual under 35 who has reflected the ‘ability to create value and innovate’ within her field.
As BPE’s youngest ever Partner, Kathryn has played a pivotal role in pushing BPE to reach new heights, establishing herself as a trusted adviser amongst clients, investors, and fellow professionals. Her strategic input and proactive approach have fostered strong relationships with firms and individuals across the UK, Canada, and the US, cementing her position as a key player in both the region and beyond.
Having led a number of significantly complex and strategic deals this year - including the sale of Creed Catering Supplies Limited to Kitwave Group PLC, an AIM Reverse Takeover of EARNZ PLC and Sale of Gemba Advantage Ltd to Actica, amongst many others – Kathryn has once again proved that her expertise and technical ability sets her apart from her competitors.
Kathryn commented: “I am extremely proud to have been shortlisted for such an esteemed award. This year is particularly competitive, with a range of first-class candidates, so it is an honour to be included amongst the very best. The team have had a busy year full of many high moments, working on complex matters which required determination and agility, so it is brilliant to be able to take a moment to stop and celebrate.”
We are extremely proud to see Kathryn being recognised for her hard work, pragmatism and devotion to her team, clients and the region, and wish her every success on the night, which will be held on Thursday 26th June 2025 at the Bristol Marriot Hotel.
