Corporate/M&A (International & Cross-Border) - UK
What the Team is Known For
Long-term, concerted international expansion from Cleary Gottlieb's US base has enabled the firm to become one of the most globally-recognised brands in numerous areas of international law. The firm's broad office network incorporates established teams stationed across key financial and political centres in the USA, Europe, South-East Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. Providing cross-border expertise across transactional, regulatory and contentious areas, it gathers wide acclaim for its role leading significant transatlantic mandates, often through close coordination between its US base and deeply entrenched European teams, notably in the UK and France.
With a well-established presence in the London market, the law firm offers strong cross-border M&A capabilities, and the London office frequently collaborates with colleagues across its strong European network of offices including a prominent role on Eastern European transactions. The London team also often links with the firm's New York headquarters to serve clients on their M&A requirements in and out of the USA, both driving and receiving transatlantic mandates. The firm represents sovereign entities, financial institutions and multinational corporates, often coordinating work from London, and holds a stellar reputation for its leading global antitrust practice.
Strengths
Every transaction we get involved in has an international element. Cleary is excellent in handling these elements.
