Acquisitions and fusions
We advise both public and private companies on a wide range of issues, including company sales and purchases, recommended takeovers, private equity transactions, and restructurings. Identifying opportunities, initiating negotiations, and then guiding the client through the process to a successful transaction are all part of successful M&A work. It is about far more than just “doing the deal”. It is about developing a relationship in which we are advisors and partners rather than just lawyers.
The end result is a better deal for everyone. We provide transactional competition law advice, including advice on the merger process, the use of tactical complaints, and merger clearance applications as needed. When market inquiries are launched, we work with key stakeholders to ensure that all submissions are effective and targeted, reducing the risk of negative outcomes.
Taxation Services
Our team is prepared to provide advice on transactional tax matters relating to the formation of new business start-ups, spin-outs, or transfers of teams to form a new business, whether these include corporate entities, partnerships, or other arrangements, or a combination of these.
When there is a significant overseas component to a transaction, we can take the lead in coordinating numerous advisers in multiple jurisdictions to achieve the best overall tax outcome given the commercial parameters.
Law of Competition
Anti-competitive behavior is becoming a more global phenomenon, with multiple enforcement agencies pursuing multiple companies across multiple continents. The cases are becoming more serious, the methods used to conceal the activities are becoming more inventive, and the actions of the cartel members are affecting an increasing number of businesses.
Enforcement agencies do not consider fines to be a sufficient deterrent. As a result, steps are being taken to make it easier for those who have suffered losses to file private damage claims.
Never before has it been more important for businesses to ensure that their compliance procedures are robust, and for Boards and Directors to understand their responsibilities. If an investigation is imminent, the Board must understand what will occur and how to respond, both in terms of the business and key individuals.
Corporate financing
Careful structuring and negotiation of corporate banking facilities is required not only to ensure that a new facility is balanced and achieves its commercial goal, but also to ensure that a new facility harmonises correctly with any existing facilities, where applicable. This necessitates corporate banking lawyers who have a thorough understanding of the corporate banking landscape, the various financing products and structures available, and how they interact with one another.
Insurance Regulation
We are acutely aware of how the insurance industry is changing: the impact of technology and digitisation, the rise of data protection and cyber security, the wave of new entrants into the market, and the increasingly prevalent grip of regulation and compliance, which allows us to provide a range of services in both litigation and compliance.
