Commercial law firm Gateley has raised £30m from its listing on London's AIM market.The company raised the cash by placing just under 31.6m shares on the London Stock Exchange's AIM market at 95p each, giving it a market capitalisation of £100m.The company raised $5m and its selling shareholders raised £25m.Cantor Fitzgerald Europe was financial adviser, nominated adviser and broker to Gateley and KPMG was the accountant and tax adviser.The directors believe the AIM listing will provide greater opportunities for Gateley to grow both organically and through selective acquisition.
