Danielle is a Solicitor in our corporate team.
She advises on a wide range of corporate transactions — assisting with issues such as mergers and acquisitions, company restructures, shareholder protection and agreements, governance, EMI schemes and private equity.
A core member of our employee ownership trusts team, Danielle also specialises in guiding businesses on their journeys to becoming employee-owned, as well as other routes to exit.
Danielle’s clients include private companies, SMEs and owner-managed businesses, as well as individual shareholders and directors. She works closely with our retail sector team, assisting clients with their company-related legal issues.
Highly diligent and pragmatic, Danielle delivers outstanding levels of client service, keeping them informed of progress every step of the way.
Danielle is involved with our social mobility initiatives, which see her regularly attend seminars and talks with students looking to get into law. She is also one of our mental health first aiders who offers a place for people to turn when they need help managing their stresses and worries — whether inside or outside of work.
Danielle works across our Lancashire and Manchester offices. She joined us in September 2020 and qualified in September 2022.
“The EOT process was far more complex than we envisaged and at times we just didn’t understand it. This is when you really need experts with you — people who can be patient but also extremely supportive. We simply couldn’t have done this without Danielle Phillips by our side. Her knowledge is outstanding and yet she's able to communicate in a way that makes you truly understand. That’s super important and helped us enormously navigate the legal process.”
Paul Sharpe
“Danielle Phillips has been exceptionally helpful throughout the process. Her prompt replies to any questions raised were reassuring and helped to move the process forward smoothly.”
Client feedback
“We transitioned our business to employee ownership to guarantee the stability of our company — safeguarding the interests of both our employees and valued clients. The EOT team at Brabners — led by Mairead Platt and assisted by Danielle Phillips — was truly outstanding, guiding us through whole process from beginning to end seamlessly and relatively stress free. We can’t thank them enough.”
Managing Director, Optimum RX
