Corporate

We work on a broad range of complex transactions for public and private companies, financial institutions, partnerships, industrial and provident societies and private individuals. In addition to mergers and acquisitions (public and private), we advise clients on private equity, equity capital markets, corporate reorganisations, joint ventures and the formation of investment funds.

Our Corporate Finance Group also advises clients on all aspects of company law, the Listing Rules, AIM Rules and the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers.

Recent highlights include advising:

  • Nationwide Building Society on the sale of Nationwide Life and Nationwide Unit Trust Managers to Legal & General.  The transaction is estimated to have a value in excess of £300 million.
  • Hargreaves Lansdown Plc on its admission to the Official List with a market capitalisation at close of trading on the first day in excess of £1 billion, including a related public offer to Hargreaves Lansdown's client base, conducted entirely online.

We also offer a Company Secretarial Service.

"'a hard act to follow', say sources, who point to the massive range of deals it undertakes. The lawyers here handle everything from mid-market transactions for local companies to sophisticated City-style deals, such as the flotation of Hargreaves Lansdown, valued at £1 billion. The group’s status as an international player continues to grow as it uses its strong network of contacts to co-ordinate complex cross-border transactions such as the Dutch chemicals company Thermphos’ acquisition of Newport-based DEQUEST."
