Marriott Harrison has bagged a lucrative new client after acting for specialist investment and management firm Albion Chemical Partners on its first deal – the £107m management buy-in of Hays Chemicals.

The 11-partner firm is citing the deal as evidence that it reaches beyond the sector for which it is best known – corporate media work. However, the firm was introduced to its new client while advising Shepperton Studios on its sale to Pinewood Studios earlier this year.
