Laws, regulations and market practice applicable to bidders and strategic investors in UK public companies are complex. Making a misstep can be fatal to strategic objectives and investment returns.
Early stage confidential advice is essential for strategic investments. Using us minimises the risk of leaks by limiting the number of insiders.
Our experience includes negotiating private M&A transactions, joint ventures and shareholders’ agreements and working with private equity.
We can complement your internal team at the early planning stage and work with a bigger team to execute a major transaction. We are happy to work with law firms who wish to combine expertise and collaborate.
