Chambers Review
Ropes & Gray provides an integrated international offering with a strong global focus on financial services, life sciences and pharmaceuticals. The firm's US offices act as its primary driving force for international work, with Boston and New York frequently leading cross-border work, typically coordinating global transactions for major private equity funds and corporations. Key areas of geographical strength include Asian markets, and Ropes & Gray is often considered a popular choice by US and Asian clients for investments from the USA into China and Japan, where the firm can also offer locally based US law-qualified experts.
The firm possesses the full range of capabilities in investment funds in the launch and transactional phases, and displays great proficiency handling large and complex cross-border transactions. Its expertise cuts across registered and private funds, and clients benefit from the firm's project management capabilities and collaborative relationships with its funds teams across Europe and Asia. It is frequently mandated on substantial cross-border private equity buyouts, and has recently taken prominent roles on large global deals in the life sciences industry.
