Corporate/M&A (International & Cross-Border)

Chambers Review

With a highly-integrated network of international offices, A&O Shearman's London team is frequently identified as a standout choice to coordinate cross-border work. Offering a well-developed, full-service platform which offers consistent quality across numerous practice areas and sectors, the London office fulfils a significant role as the firm's central hub within its diverse global network. The team advises on some of the biggest and most complex cross-border deals in the market. On 1st May 2024, Allen & Overy and Shearman & Sterling merged to form A&O Shearman.

In M&A, the law firm provides a full suite of services and high-end deal guidance to clients as well as expansive cross-border reach, regularly connecting with the firm's extensive network of strong offices overseas during transactions. A strong affinity with major financial services players and banks, as well as relationships with large corporates, provides the team with frequent cross-border M&A mandates and deal counsel experience. The law firm's major presence in many major economies generates a flow of inbound work and the London office is highly regarded for its project management abilities on M&A involving multiple jurisdictions.
