What the Team is Known For

Freshfields has a formidable reputation in ECM matters, including IPOs, rights issues and large share deals across European jurisdictions. It also brings considerable skill to DCM mandates, ranging from issuance of convertibles to transnational EMTN programmes as well as bond buy-back schemes. The firm is also well suited to assist with high-yield products. It has key strongholds in London and Frankfurt, with further reputable teams in Vienna and Madrid. The law firm remains a popular choice for prestigious corporate clients on the issuer side, but also has a significant following of underwriters. The team works in collaboration with the firm's strong corporate, tax and banking departments across its European network to provide seamless advice to clients on cross-border transactions.
