Solicitors at Brabners Chaffe Street acted for Manchester United on swoops for Angolan ace Manucho - one of the stars of the African Cup of Nations - and Brazilian midfielder Rodrigo Possebon.
The Brabners team, which included Matthew Bennett, Edward Canty and Carol Couse, also provided advice as West Bromwich Albion secured a work permit for South Korean player Kim Do-Heon, and acted for Liverpool on the Reds' signing of Slovakian defender Martin Skrtel.
Other moves in which Brabners played a role included Manchester United's sale of Ryan Shawcross, Adam Eckersley and Phil Bardsley and Bolton Wanderers' sale of Nicolas Anelka to Chelsea for £15m.
The lawyers are also representing Rangers on the possible move of Daniel Cousins to Fulham.
Meanwhile, Chris Farnell and Paul Fletcher, of Manchester rival IPS Law, advised on transfers totalling £34m, including Middlesbrough's £10m-plus swoop for Brazilian goal ace Alfonso Alves, who moved from Dutch club Heerenveen. Tweet
