Our Corporate & Commercial Department advises on a wide range of corporate & commercial matters, including high-profile M&A, private equity, disposals and corporate restructurings, complex joint ventures, securities transactions, all types of commercial contracts, as well as on general commercial matters and corporate governance issues.
