Our corporate team is committed to building strong and friendly long-term relationships with our clients.
We strive to become our clients’ trusted business advisors, with a focus on great client service and industry sector knowledge that is ingrained throughout our team. This enables us to anticipate our clients’ needs and proactively find solutions to help clients achieve their goals.
From entrepreneurs and start-ups to large mid-market deals, we cover a wide array of corporate transactions in terms of both complexity and size. We advise companies, financial institutions and investor clients on UK and international private and public M&A, listings and fundraisings on the Main Market and AIM, as well as on venture capital, private equity and other corporate transactions.
We also advise companies, advisers, boards and senior executives in relation to the full range of corporate governance and regulatory compliance issues.
Our ongoing corporate support to clients draws on specialist advice from colleagues across the firm, resulting in a consistent and dedicated multi-disciplinary team-based approach.
A substantial amount of our work has an international component due to our commitment to building relationships with independent law firms across the globe. This enables us to offer a seamless service in the jurisdictions relevant to you, and we are adept at working effectively with your existing advisers in those jurisdictions.
