Corporate/M&A (International & Cross-Border) - UK
What the team is known for
As well as having a strong presence in the UK with several offices across the country, Eversheds Sutherland has established a significant international pedigree. The law firm has continued to expand globally, making it a valuable option for handling cross-border matters, and the firm's team in London frequently acts as a generator and leader in relation to work done for multinational clients in conjunction with the firm's growing network of overseas offices. It has strong coverage across Europe, the USA and the Middle East and it has also developed a reputation for handling work spanning into Africa, Asia and Latin America, often through alliances with local firms.
The team offers an attractive solution for UK clients looking to embark on multi-jurisdictional M&A which requires capabilities across the various regulatory and compliance areas associated with a cross-border transaction. Likewise, the firm is adept in providing UK law advice to clients overseas investing in the UK or British companies that are the targets of foreign investment. An emerging market presence in addition to offices in key financial centres globally gives the London team a wealth of resources at its disposal to utilise for clients. Frequently mandated to advise on deals across industries, the team has notable expertise acting on M&A in the technology, energy and retail sectors.
