Corporate/M&A (International & Cross-Border)

Chambers Review

Willkie is an impressive up-and-coming international firm, which has expanded on its longstanding renown for high-quality advice on US private equity and M&A transactions by building a successful European operation focused on the same core areas. The firm can offer clients an experienced US team, primarily staffed in New York, which has developed a good track record for coordinating cross-border matters.

A key pillar of the firm's global M&A strategy is built around providing US clients, including both listed corporates and private asset managers, with a platform to execute their outbound M&A mandates. Operating strong practices in both private and public M&A in the US market, the firm benefits from several corporate teams in European offices, including strong teams in the UK, Paris and Germany to support clients' transatlantic M&A needs. The team in New York also partners with and coordinates local counsel in Asia and other regions when handling matters in jurisdictions without an office presence, and the team often applies this approach advising on US investments into Latin America.
