Corporate/M&A (International & Cross-Border)

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.

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.
