Gareth McIntegart

Gareth is a highly experienced corporate lawyer with more than 30 years’ experience advising businesses across the Liverpool City Region and wider north west market. For many years he has been recognised as a Leading Individual in The Legal 500 and has built a strong track record across the full spectrum of corporate finance transactional work, with particular expertise in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), private equity transactions, management buyouts, joint ventures and group reorganisations.

Having held partner and senior leadership roles at both DLA Piper and DWF, including leading their Liverpool corporate teams, Gareth oversaw the launch of Napthens’ Liverpool office in 2018 and has played a pivotal role in its growth and success. Today, he is a key relationship contact for many of the firm’s Liverpool-based clients and is extremely well connected across the region’s professional and financial services community.

His client base includes larger privately owned companies, entrepreneurial businesses and owner-managed companies. Gareth combines his private practice role at Napthens with in-house and group legal counsel positions for longstanding clients, Elite Group and Joloda Hydraroll Limited, where he provides strategic board-level advice on acquisitions, investments and wider commercial matters. This experience gives him a valuable insight into the challenges businesses face from the inside, bringing a practical, commercial perspective to his advice.

Originally from Belfast and a graduate of the University of Liverpool, Gareth recently completed a six-year term as an Independent Governor of Liverpool John Moores University, where he also served on its Audit & Risk Committee.
