Chris Brightling, Head of Corporate, Banking & Finance and Commercial Law led the cross disciplinary team from Girlings which included experts from our Commercial Property and Employment teams, in advising hearing specialists and audiologists, Hearbase Limited who are located across Kent and London on a number of acquisitions.

Chris Brightling said: ‘We have enjoyed working with Mark and the Hearbase team on their expansion plans which have involved numerous acquisitions.’

Mark Scutchings, Managing Director of Hearbase Limited commented: ‘I have worked with Chris over the past two years when he has helped me with the acquisition of a number of companies and businesses that have been absorbed into Hearbase Ltd.

He has been invaluable in helping us navigate our way through the acquisition process, educating us where necessary and dealing with business owners and their advisors and building a robust framework around the acquisition to ensure a painless transition. This is always managed with a good humoured and pragmatic manner.

Chris and his team have a modern and refreshingly straightforward approach to complex issues and I cannot underestimate the value of having an expert like Chris on your team. I will not hesitate to involve Chris in any future Hearbase acquisition and I recommend him without reservation to any prospective client.’
