Why choose our Mergers and Acquisitions lawyers?
We advise public and private companies, entrepreneurs and
funds operating in a range of industries including our key sectors of
technology, media, energy and natural resources, life sciences, financial services and real estate.
Our M&A capabilities are deep and flexible and we can
curate specialist deal teams to advise on specific transactions depending on
the industry, deal size and level of complexity.
We support clients at every stage of the transaction, including
the post-merger integration phase and we are recognised for our particular
expertise in data protection issues.
We work with every kind of company, from owner-managed
businesses without in-house legal teams, to multinationals with European
buy-and-build strategies.
Many of our M&A lawyers have in-house industry experience. This helps us see transactions from our clients' point of view. We understand what factors are critical to the success of deals and we work with our clients to understand their priorities and deliver transactions according to their timelines.
Our UK team was shortlisted for M&A Team of the Year at the British Legal Awards 2021.
