By GlobalDataBLP’s asset finance practice was earmarked for
growth following a strategic review of the firm’s finance division
18 months ago and revenue from the sector has grown 85% in the last
18 months, Clifford told Leasing Life.
“We think part of that is winning market
share,” Clifford added, “and we’ve done that by making adjustments
to markets we are focusing on and the people we’ve got doing it.
Amy and Adam very much form a part of that.
“For us to be able to attract lawyers of their
calibre is great for us and shows where we are sitting in the
market and the opportunities.
“We feel here there is still a lot of scope
for growth in the business and we see asset finance both in the UK
and internationally as somewhere we want to be investing.”
