Our corporate team offers market-leading capability on public and private mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructurings, corporate governance, initial public offerings, equity issues, projects and tax. We advise clients from a wide-range of business sectors including energy and infrastructure, financial institutions and TMT.
Our key strength is advice on large, complex transactions, often of a cross-border nature, where we utilise our network of offices in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Our international capability is enhanced by our Alliance with the leading European firms Gleiss Lutz and Stibbe and our close working relationship with a number of top firms in the US. We also have our own team of US securities lawyers advising on the US securities law aspects of deals originating out of Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
Our clients are also able to draw upon the formidable reputation of our dispute resolution practice on transactions where management of risk is a key issue.
