Corporate/M&A (International & Cross-Border) - UK
What the Team is Known For
Widely regarded as a global heavy-hitter in M&A, the group is a top choice for major UK and overseas clients, with a particularly strong track record representing UK corporates. The law firm regularly works with major public companies and is also a trusted adviser to private equity firms, equally adept advising on both substantial public and private M&A. It acts for clients with interests and operations abroad, typically forming a cross-office team with local Freshfields offices in major financial centres, or for work in emerging global economies by coordinating local counsel. The firm complements the M&A group with strong antitrust expertise and sector knowledge across the technology and pharmaceutical sectors and a top-notch merger control and competition law team.
A distinguished full-service law firm, Freshfields is recognised for its international mindset and its ability to lead cross-border work from its London centre. The law firm has outstanding international capabilities and can utilise widespread offices in its top-tier, integrated network, which incorporates highly-rated teams across Europe, the Middle East, the Americas and Asia-Pacific. Equally, the firm has established the 'Stronger Together' group of local firms, serving clients' needs in jurisdictions where collaboration with co-counsel is required.
