Capital Markets: Equity

Baker McKenzie has advised on some of the most high profile transactions in the market. Although the firm has historically mostly advised issuers, it is increasingly advising many of the leading international investment banks, commercial banks and financial institutions in structuring, negotiating and documenting a wide variety of capital markets transactions.

The team in London has both English and US law capability with sector expertise in US securities law and transaction management. Their ability to combine global standard US and English law capital markets strength with experienced teams on the ground the world over is a powerful draw for leading corporate and institutional clients alike.

The London-based ECM practice is very well placed to support those companies that will be coming to the London market over the next few years and who will shape the FTSE 100 in the years to come. The firm is also increasingly advising a broad range of underwriters on market leading ECM transactions, including all the "bulge bracket" international investment banks, moving away from its legacy position as an adviser to issuers.
