Equity Capital Markets

Statistics show that year after year we do more on AIM than any other firm – in each of 2019, 2020 and 2022 we came first by deal volume on AIM. Perfect Information's ECMi Report for Q1 2023 (the last published) showed that Fieldfisher was the number one legal adviser by deal volume on AIM and indeed across all markets.

As of July 2024, we were ranked by the AIM Advisers Rankings Guide as the leading legal adviser to AIM companies overall and joint lead adviser to FTSE AIM 100 companies, being the largest AIM-listed companies.

We are award-winning, having been voted 'AIM Team of the Year', and our clients are past winners of 'AIM Transaction of the Year', 'AIM Growth Business of the Year' and 'Best Use of AIM' for transactions we advised on at the annual AIM Awards.

We have excellent and trusted relationships with other advisers, including investment banks, reporting accountants, registrars and financial PR.

Whomever you engage, we will have been through the process many times with them all.

We advise on the full range of equity capital markets transactions, across a number of different sectors and jurisdictions. These transactions include:

• IPOs on the Main Market, AIM, AQSE, Euronext and Euronext Growth.
• Pre-IPO fundraisings, planning and restructuring.
• Follow-on fundraisings (including placings, open offers, vendor placings and retail offers).

• Tender offers, share buy-backs and returns of capital.
• Acquisitions and reverse takeovers.
• "Buy and build" strategies.
