Beth Mather, partner and national head of corporate at Gateley Legal, has been named in The Lawyer Hot 100, following a year defined by the scale, complexity and breadth of her deal work.
Throughout 2025, Beth led or supported a significant volume of high-profile private equity and M&A transactions, reinforcing her position as one of Gateley’s leading dealmakers. Her work included leading Gateley’s advice to Palatine Private Equity on its investment in Atombit Group, alongside a number of international bolt-on acquisitions.
Beth also fronted the corporate team advising the shareholders of Aquavista on its sale to Antin Infrastructure Partners, a notable infrastructure-backed exit. In addition, she played a key role advising on BGF’s investment in Utelize Communications and the disposal of Sunrise Group to PE-backed Agrova International, achievements which led to her being named Corporate Lawyer of the Year at the Dealmakers Awards 2025.
A specialist in private equity-led M&A, buy-outs and disposals, often involving international elements, Beth combines national leadership of Gateley’s corporate practice with a hands-on role on the company’s most significant mandates.
