Our corporate lawyers advise on all aspects of mergers, acquisitions and disposals of companies, businesses and assets and have extensive experience in cross-border transactions and managing multi-jurisdictional sales and purchases. 

Our lawyers’ knowledge and expertise ensures that the deal is completed on time and within budget and our service is partner-led, with partners remaining involved throughout all stages of the transaction. 

We act for clients in a wide range of sectors, including technology, logistics, telecoms and engineering as well as acting for high net worth individuals and multi-national corporations.  Our work is often of an international nature. 

We are able to offer clients the benefit of our extensive experience in corporate finance, tax and banking.  We assist clients with the legal aspects of their banking arrangements, such as in connection with the raising of finance for the purpose of acquisitions, the financing of new projects or the running of a business.  Our corporate lawyers can advise on all aspects of corporate borrowing and lending including leveraged finance, refinancing, guarantees, indemnities and intercreditor issues.

We also have specialist expertise in offshore investments and trusts.  We advise offshore banks, institutions and trust companies in setting up, merging and demerging specialist offshore investment legal structures and we assist high net worth individuals in implementing complex tax driven offshore trusts.
