Corporate

Our corporate group provides premium quality advice on IPOs, secondary capital issues, takeovers, re-organisations, mergers & acquisitions, corporate tax and other corporate transactions. We are one of the leading advisers to companies coming to the Official List or the Alternative Investment Market or carrying out transactions on these markets.

Our service is partner-led and we take a common sense approach, viewing the situation very much from the client's perspective.

We understand the value and importance to our clients of effective project management of the delivery of our services, across all legal disciplines, and the efficient co-ordination of our services with those of the other members of our clients’ professional teams. We work alongside (and often also advise) financial intermediaries and other professionals to ensure the smooth and timely delivery of transactions for their clients.

Our clients range from FTSE 100 companies and their boards, large institutions and international corporations to smaller quoted and unquoted companies and the entrepreneurs who drive them. Backed by experts in specialist legal disciplines across our firm, we provide a comprehensive service to clients across all industry sectors and in particular, have a solid client base in the leisure, retail, financial and publishing industries.

We have a strong investment funds practice and also advise on on-going Stock Exchange compliance, Financial Services and Markets Act issues and corporate governance matters, which cannot be ignored in the current regulatory environment.
