Corporate legal work by Wake Smith Solicitors has been shortlisted at the Yorkshire Business Insider’s Yorkshire Dealmakers Awards 2025.
Wake Smith Solicitors’ Rebecca Robinson, Director and Head of Corporate, provided legal advice to Castings Technology International on its new £15m investment package, to further its aim of becoming one of the largest Titanium foundries in the world.
Legal work included negotiating the investment documentation, facilities agreement and security documentation. Rebecca was supported by assistant corporate solicitor Joe Creasor who managed the due diligence process with Wake Smith’s director Paul Gibbon providing commercial property advice.
The deal has been shortlisted in the Deal of The Year (£5m to £25m) category at Yorkshire Business Insider’s Yorkshire Dealmakers Awards 2025, a celebration of the region’s top transactions, firms and individuals of the year, with the winners announced at an awards dinner in Leeds on Thursday November 20.
Wake Smith worked with Castle Square Corporate Finance which advised the shareholders on the structured fundraising process, funding negotiations and project managed the transaction process, and with BHP which advised on tax matters.
Rebecca Robinson, director and head of corporate at Wake Smith Solicitors, said “We are proud to have been involved in this investment which allows Casting Technology to further its potential to become one of the largest Titanium foundries in the world. We are delighted our work has been recognised in a shortlisted deal in these prestigious regional awards.”
The new investment facility of £15million from Zachary Asset Holdings, will see Castings Technology, which produces specialised investment castings from a range of alloys for some of the most demanding advanced global manufacturing companies, invest in new premises, equipment, and new jobs.
