Chambers Review
Ropes & Gray provides an integrated international offering with a strong global focus on financial services, life sciences and pharmaceuticals. The firm's US offices act as its primary driving force for international work, with Boston and New York frequently leading cross-border work, typically coordinating global transactions for major private equity funds and corporations. Key areas of geographic strength include Asian markets, and Ropes & Gray is often considered a popular choice by US and Asian clients for investments from the USA into China and Japan, where the firm can also offer locally based US law-qualified experts. The US team also works in a seamless manner with the firm's London office, particularly for the funds and corporate side of the practice.
Included with the firm's strong global practice is a reputable healthcare and life sciences group. The firm is frequently engaged in transactional work involving those industries, acting for a mixture of company clients and investment funds. Recent work includes several complex cross-border matters, including acquisitions, joint ventures and investigation work for biotech and pharma companies which have involved the USA, the EU and Asian jurisdictions.
