We believe in making things happen. Our highly respected corporate team are dedicated to helping our clients grow their business, whatever stage they are at. We work with fast-paced growth businesses and well established, mature companies, both listed and unlisted. We take a holistic view of our client’s businesses and many of our clients rely on us for strategic advice on their business and implementing their exit strategy. We take an entrepreneurial and commercial approach to help our clients achieve their goals.
Our team has acquired extensive experience of advising new ventures on their corporate structure, including share incentivisation schemes, and guiding them on their path to success.
We have a wealth of experience in both buy-side and sale-side M&A deals, for many of which we are able to leverage our international network, Law Firm Alliance, and our other longstanding international relationships.
Sometimes relationships go wrong. We have steered many clients through shareholder and boardroom disputes, working closely with our heavyweight commercial litigation team where necessary.
Expertise includes:
Mergers and acquisitions
Re-organisations and restructuring
Equity and fundraising
