The corporate and banking team at Wilkes is delighted to announce it has joined Santander’s elite panel of approved legal advisers. The approval was granted by Santander’s panel group in London after Wilkes’ corporate team was recognised as having the relevant technical expertise and experience required to advise the international bank on its corporate transactions.

Says Rick Smyth, corporate partner in Wilkes’ Birmingham office “We are delighted to have been recognised by Santander as having the requisite legal expertise to assist in all range of corporate matters. We’re already in discussions with Santander in relation to some significance new pieces of work.”
