We provide counsel on a full range of M&A transaction types, at all stages of a client’s development. We represent a variety of players during transactions, including bidders, targets, boards of directors, controlling shareholders, institutional and private investors, as well as acquisition financiers.
Our people have extensive experience advising on both the buy and sell sides of negotiated and contested transactions: spanning the very small to strategic mergers and business combinations, from local acquisitions to complex cross-border transactions, from entire business to specific asset acquisitions, and from spin-offs to other business dispositions.
When planning corporate transactions, we provide an integrated service — from due diligence review to transaction structuring, from analysis of tax and regulatory implications to post-closing follow through. We also advise on commercial contracts and general corporate needs such as board and shareholder requirements, restructuring, corporate governance and best practices.
We can coordinate multidisciplinary teams, including experts in the fields of corporate governance, capital markets, intellectual property, tax, labour, competition, anti-corruption compliance, privacy, real estate, and litigation.
Our M&A practice works closely with our investment teams, meaning we bring a genuine investor perspective to every transaction we advise on.
