This section covers both public and private company transactions, particularly M&A. Typical work includes company and share acquisitions, dispositions, capitalisations, entity selection and formation, operating and partnership agreements, securities and governance matters. Priority is placed on those acting for buyers and sellers. There are three tables in this section: for deals worth over £800 million, for deals worth between £100 million and £800 million, and for deals of under £100 million. Please note that a firm or lawyer being ranked in one table does not preclude them from advising of a deal of a higher or lower value. These tables are arranged to enable clients to find the firm or lawyer most suited to their matter. Firms are arranged in the category where the bulk of their work highlights fall. It is the value that they are most commonly seen on, not the only value they act on. Please note that departments with expertise of private equity deals are ranked separately, in Private Equity.
