Principal Associate

What can I do for you

Sam is a corporate lawyer working with clients on a variety of corporate transactions including acquisitions and disposals of shares or assets, management buy-outs and buy-ins, private equity investments, group reorganisations and joint ventures as well as advising on general corporate governance matters.

Supporting your ambitions

Sam has worked on a wide range of transactions covering very small owner-managed businesses through to multimillion-pound transactions covering multiple jurisdictions. He acutely understands the importance of tailoring the advice and services offered to reflect the size and complexity of the transactions, and the individual needs of his clients.

Sam has also advised on a number of volume acquisitions, disposals and large group reorganisations, and is passionate about the use of legal technology to assist on these transactions for the benefit of clients and advisers alike.

What do others say

Sam forms part of Mills & Reeve's Norwich corporate team, which is described by the Legal 500 as "strong in all areas". Sam has also recently played a leading role in RPC Group plc's acquisition of Plasgran Ltd, a deal nominated for Insider Media's 2018 Deal of the Year (above £10 million).

What else should you know

Sam is a keen musician, and plays in several local amateur orchestras, as well as leading the Mills & Reeve Norwich office charity choir (enthusiastically, if perhaps not skillfully!)

What our clients say about us

  • I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.
  • They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.
  • All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.
  • I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.

As many clients will testify, too many lawyers deliver the required legal expertise but fail to deliver an outstanding client experience. Which is why we always listen to our clients and constantly ask ourselves what we can do to deliver the results you expect.

You expect a close and attentive working relationship, with a lawyer that is responsive and available when you need them. You also want clear, pragmatic and commercial advice tailored to your needs, and transparency and certainty on costs. We completely agree. That’s why every day, through our culture and approach we are committed to delivering the exceptional results and service our clients expect of us.
