Our investment banking team mirrors the needs of our investment bank clients, drawing on sector specialists from across our international network, and bringing together top transactional, regulatory and disputes expertise. With senior ex-bankers within the firm, we also have a depth of experience and understanding of the key issues for investment bankers. These factors have attracted most of the leading investment banks to Herbert Smith as clients.
Main areas on which we advise are:
- equity and debt capital markets and other financings
- public takeovers and private equity
- litigation and regulatory matters
- risk management issues
Our approach is to put together teams of senior lawyers with relevant experience in relevant jurisdictions to suit each client. Our client list includes banks such as Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, Lazard, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and UBS.
In investment banking matters, we work closely with the leading European firms Gleiss Lutz and Stibbe, with which Herbert Smith has an alliance. We also gain leverage from our strong links with a number of pre-eminent US firms, as well as top-tier firms in other jurisdictions where we have no base.
