Why choose our Mergers and Acquisitions lawyers?

We advise public and private companies, entrepreneurs and funds operating in a range of sectors including Technology, Media, Energy and Renewables, Life Sciences and Financial Services. 

Each team member has particular sectors and geographies of specialism, as part of a European, sector-wide group of specialists.

We know that it is essential to work alongside other professionals, industry bodies and government agencies/regulators to help you achieve your M&A goals.

What makes our M&A lawyers different is they want to be part of your team. Many of us have in-house industry experience, meaning we can look at deals from your perspective.

If you have in-house M&A capability, we are keen to talk about how we can supplement your team's skills and experience – such as looking at how GDPR has changed the nature of due diligence and post-merger integration.

Whether you are an owner-managed business without an in-house team or a multinational with a European buy-and-build strategy, we will tailor our role to your needs and budget.

We look forward to meeting with you to discuss the next phase in your business growth and how we can help.
