M&A / Transactions

Whatever your role in a merger or acquisition, our M&A team has the expertise and resources needed to help you close your transaction.

  • Structuring transactions​
  • Legal due diligence
  • Drafting and negotiation of transaction documentation
  • Securing regulatory permits, clearances and tax rulings
  • Organisation of signing and closing
  • Integration issues


Our M&A specialists offer a breadth and depth of resources to buyers and sellers in the fields of tax, competition, employment and property law as well as in IP/IT.

We advise a wide range of clients, including quoted, private and foreign-owned companies, financial institutions, equity investors, management teams and entrepreneurs on all aspects of buying and selling companies and businesses. These often involve a cross-border element, in which case we work closely with the client’s own team or our own network of law firms abroad.
