Mergers & Acquisitions
We have expertise in advising companies, private equity firms and funds on a broad range of transactions including mergers, acquisitions, divestments, demergers, joint ventures and investments with experience across a broad range of industry sectors and a range of transaction sizes. We provide independent financial advice to companies in receipt of a public offer as set out in Rule 3 of the Takeover Code and provide expert advice in assisting companies with defence planning and securing the best value for shareholders.
Debt and Equity Capital Markets
Debt Advisory
Considering the lax monetary policies pursued by central banks worldwide, there is a huge amount of dry powder that is seeking to find its most optimal use. We employ our network of developers and funds who want to be on the other side of the deal and bearing in mind each client’s specific investment profile, to connect the “bridges” between them, making sure that these are win-win deals for all parties.
Equity Advisory
We provide independent advice to companies and shareholders in relation to rights issues, share placements, initial public offerings and other interactions with the equity markets. As well as standalone transactions, we often advise on complex situations, potentially involving multiple forms of equity financing in conjunction with other financing sources.
We are able to single-mindedly focus on our client’s objectives and ensure that equity transactions are considered in the context of a company’s wider strategic priorities. Our team has substantial equity capital market experience, having advised on some of the largest and most complex transactions in recent times. Our services are complementary to distribution banks and we work alongside equity syndicates and in most major global jurisdictions.
Restructuring
Our Financial Restructuring Group provides impartial advice to shareholders, boards of directors, companies, lenders, bondholders and other key stakeholders, with experience across the largest and most complex restructurings and special situations in Europe.
We work with the firm’s sector teams and senior partners to provide strategic guidance and to implement creative and value-maximising corporate and capital structure solutions.
