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.

What the Team is Known For

London is the centre of the firm's M&A resources, where its strong relationships with asset management and financial services clients often give rise to cross-border M&A instructions. The London team operates a combined approach for clients in relation to international transactions, utilising the firm's extensive global internal network and collaborating with a group of quality M&A firms in secondary and emerging markets. Its clients benefit from close ties with chosen partner firms in the USA for transatlantic deals and several active corporate teams across Europe and Asia in multi-jurisdictional M&A, with the London team predominantly taking a lead role and coordinating matters.
A distinguished London-headquartered law firm with significant global reach throughout Europe and Asia, Simmons & Simmons provides an attractive offering to clients through its sector-focused international strategy, concentrating on financial services, asset management, technology and life sciences. The firm regularly manages sophisticated multi-jurisdictional mandates from London across these areas of focus and works in conjunction with its other offices across Europe and Asia. It has developed a strong network of co-counsel from other jurisdictions to provide a seamless service for clients.
