Corporate

We help businesses deliver their strategies and growth plans across a range of corporate transactions, fundraisings and investments.

We advise and negotiate on the legal aspects integral to successful corporate activities for businesses and their investors. We have expertise in traditional M&A and capital market listings, venture & growth capital and private equity investments through to demergers and reorganisations.

We also advise on corporate structures and governance and can provide company secretarial services.

Our clients span founder-led scale-ups through to larger more established corporate enterprises & PLCs. We work closely with the UK investor community powering innovation and growth as well as overseas investors looking to invest in the UK. We regularly work with businesses in the tech and digital transformation space as well as in the health & life sciences and energy & resources sectors.

Our approach is to work closely with our clients and as an extension of their team. This means we can get under the skin of the business and understand what is important. It means we can spot opportunities and anticipate risks; importantly advising on whether those risks are material and how to mitigate them.

We aim to be a robust and valued partner, committed to delivering your objectives. Our clients tell us we are easy to work with, pragmatic, responsive and commercial in our approach. Ultimately, that we are effective at getting the deal done or securing an investment on the best terms.
