SMB further strengthens Corporate & Finance team with two new Partners

13th August 2026

Paul Glassberg and Al Zucker join us this month as we continue to invest in our Corporate & Finance practice in response to growing client demand. Their combined experience further strengthens our ability to advise on mergers and acquisitions, private equity and venture capital investments, fundraising, corporate advisory matters and other strategic transactions.

Together, Paul and Al bring extensive experience advising entrepreneurs, investors, founder-led businesses and established companies at critical stages of their development. Importantly, they have built their practices supporting the same types of clients that sit at the heart of SMB’s client base: founders, entrepreneurs, owner-managed businesses, investors and private clients seeking trusted legal advice during some of the most important moments in their personal and professional journeys.

Their arrival expands the support we can offer throughout the business lifecycle, from start-up and fundraising through to acquisition, growth, international expansion and exit.

Paul joins SMB with more than 20 years’ experience advising entrepreneurs, investors and businesses on complex corporate transactions. He has built a reputation for providing practical, commercially focused advice, helping clients navigate significant opportunities and challenges as they grow and evolve.

Al brings a distinctive combination of private practice and in-house experience, advising venture capital-backed businesses, founder-led companies and acquisitive growth businesses. His broad commercial perspective enables him to support clients through strategic transactions while remaining focused on the commercial realities and objectives behind every deal.

As businesses continue to operate in an increasingly complex environment, clients need advisers who combine technical excellence with pragmatic commercial insight. Paul and Al’s experience and approach align closely with our commitment to delivering partner-led, relationship-driven legal services.

We are also delighted to welcome the many clients who have chosen to continue working with Paul and Al following their move to SMB. Their arrival reflects our collaborative culture and the importance we place on building long-term client relationships.

These appointments represent the latest milestone in our growth strategy and reinforce our commitment to investing in talented lawyers whose expertise and approach reflect the needs of our clients. We are delighted to welcome Paul and Al to SMB and look forward to the next chapter in the growth of our Corporate & Finance practice.
