About

Provided by Linklaters

Our Capital Markets lawyers have advised on most of Belgium’s landmark transactions. The sheer size and expertise of the team, which can also draw on the resources of our market-leading Corporate group, have enabled us to advise on virtually all significant IPOs in Belgium over the past decade, including the largest ever in Belgium. Similarly, we have been involved in the vast majority of major recent regulatory capital Tier 1 and Tier 2 issues, as well as hybrid financings and convertible bond issues.

Our integrated Banking and Capital Markets team covers the spectrum of domestic and cross-border securities, bank financings, issues of equity, warrants, convertibles and other equity-linked instruments, as well as debt (including MTNs). We also have vast experience of private placements and public offerings in Belgium and throughout Europe.
