Mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures are all significant stages in a business’s growth journey and none are without their risks and pitfalls.

We work alongside your business to offer guidance and support on critical issues as well as high quality, practical advice to get the deal done.

Our M&A team handles the full range of transactions including cross-border acquisitions and divestments, to complex reorganisations and restructurings, joint ventures, management buy-outs and buy-ins, corporate rescues and distressed transactions. Our clients range from  quoted and private companies, financial services organisations, management teams through to founder and entrepreneur led businesses.

For each transaction, you’ll work with a bespoke partner-led team that delivers integrated, specialist and multidisciplinary advice, from our real estate, competition, tax, pensions and employment, intellectual property and IT practice areas.
