CORPORATE law firm MKB Law in Belfast has appointed a new associate director in Deborah Archer, coming at the end of a successful year for its commercial team, which experienced a 50 per cent growth in revenue.

Deborah, who has joined the corporate and commercial team, is widely recognised as a market leading banking and finance lawyer. She is cited in the Legal 500 as a leading individual in banking and finance and is also ranked in Chambers and Partners 2019.

MKB Law is a full-service firm providing legal guidance to both corporate and individual clients, and it has a team of 40 staff focusing on property, corporate, financial, debt recovery, disputes, wills, matrimonial and employment matters.

Deborah is ranked as a leading expert in banking law and will become a key member of the company’s experienced team of corporate lawyers, led by managing director Gordon McElroy, who believe in building and developing trusted relationships with their clients.

Mr McElroy said: “We have experienced an increase in clients seeking corporate services and have attracted new business from not only within Belfast but from various parts of Northern Ireland and beyond.

“The focus is understanding the client and their needs and building strong relationships with them – it is about producing the best possible solutions for the client, delivered by a personable, talented team of solicitors."

“As business trends change, we are seeing increasing numbers of clients seeking alternative funding sources to grow their businesses, and so Deborah’s expertise in corporate finance and the banking sector will be a valuable asset to our team.”
