When you’re working on major financing transactions, you need a legal team that knows the business environment inside out - and has experience advising major banking and finance firms across the world.
We work with clients new and old alike - including direct lending funds, private equity houses and borrowers. Whether you’re financing cross-border or domestic acquisitions, working on distressed M&A, corporate acquisitions, structured financing, MBOs or MBIs, or refinancing portfolios and recapitalizations, we can help you.
Collaborative, lasting relationships are key to what we do – we hope that like some of our finance clients, you’ll be with us for decades. People stay with us because we’re reliable, approachable and pragmatic - we have a strategic, partner-led approach which cuts through the detail to provide commercial advice tailored specifically to your transaction.
We have extensive experience acting on both sides of transactions, and at the core of everything we do is equally deep experience of the industry. Deploying the local knowledge of our international offices, we can advise you across jurisdictions, and on large-scale projects. As a firm, we’re active in sectors including financial services, business services, TMT, healthcare, industrials and energy - whatever business you’re in, we’ll assemble a bespoke team tailored to your needs.
