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.
