Azets has been named the second most active advisor in the UK by Experian.
The company climbed five places in the first-quarter rankings for 2026. It secured the top position as the most active advisor in the North East, Yorkshire and Humber, and Wales.
Most transaction activity during the quarter came from the professional services and industrials sectors.
The team worked across an equal balance of buy-side and sell-side deals.
Lee Humble, UK head of corporate finance at Azets, said: “The market has continued to be beset with political uncertainty, geopolitical instability and ever-changing confidence levels, but great businesses continue to attract attention, capital continues to seek opportunities and good deals continue to be completed.
“Seeing us ranked amongst the most active advisers in the UK is a fantastic achievement, a tribute to all the work we’ve put in, and reflection of the consistency of deal activity across the entire team.”
Humble added: “We’ve worked hard to build a genuinely national corporate finance team, built around exceptional people operating in local markets across the UK. The Experian results show that strategy is working, and we’re keeping focused on delivery as activity and demand continue to accelerate.”
