    "The teams I have worked with have been immensely capable but also very pragmatic and flexible. The environment last year was clearly fraught with risk and my partner contact, Greg Scott, went above and beyond to create options."

    In detail

    Our team acts for public and private, entrepreneurial and institutional clients. We advise on takeovers, mergers, acquisitions and disposals, including acting for buyers, sellers and management teams.

    Much of our work is international, with UK-based clients looking to expand, or non-UK clients looking to invest in the UK. We also act on public takeovers and other matters governed by the Takeover Code.
