Chambers Review
New York-headquartered Davis Polk has high-end capabilities across transactional, regulatory and contentious areas. It is set up to serve global clients and project-manage matters from key financial centres, including London, Paris, Beijing and Hong Kong, and collaborates with selected partner firms in other jurisdictions for local law aspects. Primarily serving large US and international investment banks, financial institutions and corporates, the firm has extensive experience handling sophisticated, multi-jurisdictional M&A, financing and capital markets offerings, as well as running international investigations and disputes, including global antitrust files.
The historical strength and depth of the US antitrust team within the Washington DC and New York markets positions the firm as a solid choice for domestic clients looking for expert advice on transactional mandates. The practice regularly coordinates European and UK counsel on international merger control and compliance issues.
