Social purpose law firm, Anthony Collins, has announced the appointment of new legal director, Joe Mulrenan from HCR Law, as part of the ongoing expansion of its corporate team.

Joe has over 10 years’ experience in supporting dealmaking activity, advising organisations in the health and social care sector such as specialist care, supported living and children’s care.

As well as advising specialist care providers, Joe has acted for many financial institutions, and entrepreneurs, supporting them through a variety of complex mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions. His experience also spans the manufacturing and communications sectors.

This appointment comes at an extremely active time for the firm’s corporate team having completed several deals in quick succession over the past year. Led by Laura Jordan, the team has completed or exchanged at least one deal every month since she took on the role in November 2023.

As the next phase of its growth plan, the corporate team is looking to build on its strength in the health and social care sector at the same time as providing exemplary corporate M&A services including governance and funding, corporate social impact and not-for-profit M&A.

Laura Jordan, partner and head of corporate at Anthony Collins, said:

“I’m delighted to welcome Joe to our expanding corporate team. He comes with a strong track record and reputation in the mid-market space for his consistency in supporting and completing deals successfully. This strategic addition to our team comes at a period of significant growth as we respond to market demand.

“Our corporate team is quickly gaining a reputation both nationally and regionally for diligence and a depth and breadth of strategic understanding, which enables us to take on the most complex transactions.” 

Joe Mulrenan, legal director at Anthony Collins, said:

“I look forward to using my sector knowledge to further enrich Anthony Collin’s thriving corporate team. I am looking forward to leveraging my deal-making experience and forming transformational relationships with clients to help take the firm’s success to the next level.

“Working for Anthony Collins was an important choice for me as I strongly align with the firm’s social purpose and its commitment to improving lives, communities and society through its activities. I am looking forward to working towards this goal.”
