About

Provided by Memery Crystal

Lots of law firms can do the fundamentals. They’ll find commercial solutions to problems. They’ll move quickly. They’ll do the due diligence. At Memery Crystal, we don’t get distracted by incidental points or get lost in the detail. We focus on what matters to you and your business to get the deal done.

Our team acts for public and private, entrepreneurial and institutional clients. We advise on takeovers, mergers, acquisitions and disposals, including acting for buyers, sellers and management teams.

Much of our work is international, with UK-based clients looking to expand, or non-UK clients looking to invest in the UK. We also act on public takeovers and other matters governed by the Takeover Code.
