Howes Percival LLP

Howes Percival LLP ‘has a high level of technical skill, but also the ability to work with clients for whom this is a strange new world’. Through its Cambridge office, where James Stephen leads the firm-wide corporate and banking team, the practice continues to make significant lateral hires. The most recent came in early 2025 with the arrival of corporate and finance partner Simon Warburton from Dentons. The firm is a prominent adviser to private equity investors and has a strong presence in mid-market deals locally and beyond East Anglia. Ollie Flowers and Josie Rogers are among the talented lawyers coming through the ranks.
