DSW expands its corporate finance presence in the Midlands

DSW Capital, owner of the Dow Schofield Watts brand, has announced the expansion of its presence in the Midlands with the launch of a new corporate finance team based in Leicester. 

The new team is the first to take advantage of the DSW’s breakout incentive, which was launched in February this year and offers teams of three or more an additional cash injection to start their own business. 

The three-strong team is led by Harry Walker and includes Fahim Kassam and Daniel Chouciño, who have all joined from FRP corporate finance. Their arrival comes just weeks after DSW entered the Midlands market with the addition of Nottingham-based corporate recovery firm Bridgewood to the network. 

The new addition takes the total licensees to 24, fee earners to 104 and the firm’s total offices to 10. 

James Dow, of Dow Schofield Watts, said: “Dow Schofield Watts offers an alternative to traditional accountancy firms by enabling professionals to run their own business as part of the network and we are delighted to welcome Harry and its team.

“Corporate finance is a core area of expertise for us, and the arrival of this award-winning team further strengthens our offer to clients and expands our local presence in the Midlands. It is also in line with our goals to attract new teams of high quality people into the network.”
