Our corporate team has considerable experience of advising clients on M&A transactions including both public and private company share and business/asset acquisitions and disposals. A significant proportion of our M&A work is on higher value cross-border transactions where we work collaboratively with local counsel who are well-known to us whether through our non-exclusive membership of Multilaw and the European Law Group or otherwise.

We act for a broad range of clients on M&A transactions including entrepreneurs, family businesses, SMEs, charity and not-for-profit entities and large multinational corporates. We have particular expertise of M&A transactions in several key sectors including the technology, life sciences, property, retail and fashion sectors.

We also work closely with other specialist teams across the firm as required to advise on M&A matters, including the commercial, employment, IP/IT, pensions, real estate and tax teams.
