Our mergers and acquisitions (M&A) team primarily specialises in acquisition and disposal work for private companies/shareholders, with transaction sizes up to £200 million and the core focus being to advise owner managed businesses on corporate transactions right through to exit. Despite much of our work being around the private company market, we also have significant experience working with listed groups, having worked on a range of domestic and overseas transactions.
For clients looking to sell their business, we offer a full range of services, including vendor assistance (preparing companies for sale), full vendor due diligence, data room management in both auction and stand alone sales, and, of course, full deal execution. For buyers, we have considerable expertise in carrying out and reporting on buy-side due diligence and deal execution (including related banking and finance work).
We are also active in the private equity field and have lawyers who are specifically focused on advising private equity houses or management teams in primary, secondary and tertiary buy-outs. We often work alongside corporate finance and tax specialists in PricewaterhouseCoopers ensuring our clients' management receive optimal treatment and fully joined up advice within the deal framework.
Most of our work is undertaken in multi-disciplinary, transactional teams, including experts from the transactional teams within PricewaterhouseCoopers. While delivering a seamless service to the client, this also enables us to help structure and negotiate M&A transactions in the most efficient manner.
Our M&A work is not restricted to the domestic market UK market. We also work on many international and cross-border transactions, from Western Europe to Kazakhstan. As part of an international network of firms we have access to legal expertise in over 70 countries enabling cross-border transactions to run smoothly.
