"Well-resourced and knowledgeable corporate department providing clear, practical advice"
We provide services to clients who wish to sell their business, raise capital for them, make acquisitions or investments, dispose of existing assets or enter into strategic partnerships. Our experience includes advising on corporate acquisitions, disposals and fundraisings, private equity investments and exits, management buy-outs and buy-ins, joint ventures, restructurings and reorganisations.
We work as an integrated team with specialists in other departments of the firm in order to provide the full complement of legal services and all-round technical expertise that our clients require. For international work, as we are independent, we are able to select and work with the best lawyers for the job in the jurisdictions where overseas advice is needed.
Our clients include domestic and international high-net-worth individuals, business owners, private and publically listed companies, groups and family offices. We have significant experience in acting for wealthy individuals in relation to their corporate law and business requirements, complementing the firm’s leading position for private client work.
We value long-term successful relationships with our clients, which is why we spend time getting to know their businesses and commercial objectives, so we can provide the right solutions to the issues that matter most to them. We provide advice on a full range of company and commercial law matters for many of our clients.
