Tim Stone

Tim leads our Corporate team and advises on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), management buyouts, group restructures, demergers and share incentive schemes. He works with entrepreneurs and corporates at key moments - grow, scale and exit.

With decades of experience and recognition as a “Leading Partner” in Corporate law by Legal 500, Tim brings calm, commercially grounded judgement to every transaction. He works across sectors including technology, financial services, leisure, engineering, manufacturing, aviation and education, often acting as a trusted adviser to SME owners building towards a successful exit.

His style is clear and steady. He agrees the route early, sets decision points and keeps moving parts coordinated so documentation stays purposeful and progress is well sequenced. He gets to the heart of issues quickly, balances firmness with diplomacy in negotiation and keeps relationships constructive when pressure rises. Colleagues and referrers see a focus on practical outcomes and careful drafting that aligns legal detail with commercial aims.

As Chairman Tim drives a culture of collaboration, builds confidence around the table and anticipates issues so they can be dealt with ahead of time.

Selected instructions illustrate the range of stakeholders he coordinates and the steadiness he brings to deals that matter to owners, management teams and acquirers – including the sales of:

  • A One Insurance Group to Clear Group
  • Spire Technology to Westcoast Group
  • Baggette Asset Management to Titan Wealth
  • Bath Travel to Hays Travel
  • Bofa International to LDC
  • Classic Bag to Bunzl Plc

Tim’s style combines strategic insight with a warm, engaging manner—delivering clear options, structured steps and steady progress for deals that matter most.
