About

Provided by Dentons

Mid-market IPO and secondary fundraising work on AIM is our sweet spot. We act across sectors for corporate issuers, NOMADs and brokers.

We act for a string of corporate issuers on AIM and a large number of nomads and brokers, including: Cenkos Securities, BMO Capital Markets, Canaccord Genuity, Investec, Strand Hanson, N+1 Singer, Grant Thornton, Peel Hunt, Liberum Capital, Stifel Nicolaus Europe, Smith & Williamson, Hannam & Partners, finnCap, SP Angel, Shorecap, Panmure Gordon and Allenby Capital.

In addition to our strong UK position, we have advised on a high calibre of deals across multiple jurisdictions - this ability to work on cross border transactions using our own offices locally around the globe sets us apart. We have US securities expertise in our London office which gives us a significant advantage on mid-market deals, where we can provide an efficient joined up UK/US service without needing to rely on outside counsel.

 

Notable market recognition from ECMi 's Full Year (2019) Legal League Table rankings: We are ranked 7th for Legal Advisers by Volume on AIM.
