According to Experian MarketIQ’s 2022 M&A Review our corporate team advised on more deals than any other UK law firm throughout 2022.
Our team advises UK and international organisations on achieving their strategic goals and prides itself on delivering highly complex, high-profile transactions for our clients.
These clients include entrepreneurs and high net worth individuals; fast-growth companies and SMEs through to multinational household names as well as financial advisers and institutional sponsors. This range gives an unrivalled 360 degree view on the M&A market both from a buy-side and a sell-side perspective.
“They are best of breed on service, responsiveness, legal advice and competence. We wish that all lawyers were so good.
Our specialist lawyers have a deep-rooted knowledge of the latest trends and developments in M&A and proven experience in providing a comprehensive service and negotiating the best transactional outcome for their clients. We take a fully integrated approach to transactions leveraging multi-disciplinary technical knowledge from our specialist teams working with our client’s overseas lawyers to provide a seamless one-stop service. This enables clients to make informed commercial decisions on complex and often time-pressured issues.
We are results-orientated, focused on providing cost-effective business solutions rather than obstacles. We are proactive in our approach, do not point score with other advisers and pride ourselves on our pragmatic, commercial approach that aligns itself to the client’s objectives and priorities and provides clear and decisive advice every step of the way. This combination of technical, transactional and sector excellence enables us to offer a best in class service to deliver transactions on the best possible terms.
