About

Provided by Simmons & Simmons LLP

Drawing on an integrated network of offices, our M&A team has the expertise and reach to deal with the most complex cross-border transactions.

Working in partner-led teams, we execute innovative transactions in four heavily-regulated sectors: finance, asset management, healthcare and life sciences, and TMT. Our clients include global corporations, financial institutions and funds, across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Our sector focus means that, in addition to detailed regulatory knowledge, we have an in-depth understanding of the wider issues affecting these markets. 

So as well as appreciating our clients’ own specific issues, we also know what’s going on more widely, and how other businesses in the field are maneuvering. All of which contributes to richly informed, clear and actionable advice.

We measure our success by the many strong relationships we’ve built with our clients, and take pride in supporting them as they expand across their global markets.
