Carson McDowell Success at NI Dealmakers Awards 2026

Carson McDowell were delighted to attend the Insider Northern Ireland Dealmaker Awards 2026 yesterday evening. We were particularly pleased to see the sale of Finnebrogue to Sofina Foods transaction win Deal of the Year in the £10m+ category – the second time in three years that we have acted as lead adviser on the winning deal in the £10m+ category.

Congratulations to everyone who was involved in and contributed to the successful sale of Finnebrogue to Sofina Foods, including EY Northern Ireland and Piper Sandler, and the amazing team at Finnebrogue who created such an exceptional business and environment.

The Carson McDowell team was led by Gerard Armstrong, Joint Head of Corporate, and the transaction demonstrates Carson McDowell’s position as the law firm of choice for companies operating within the agrifood sector.
