Clients seek our market-leading strategic, M&A, debt and equity related and/or restructuring advisory services in a range of situations:
Public mergers and takeovers
We have a track record of advising on the highest profile and most complicated public mergers and acquisitions; we are specialists in transactions governed by the UK Takeover Code.
Defence advisory
We are frequently asked to advise clients following a takeover approach, in particular one that is unsolicited or hostile. In anticipation of the possibility of such approach, we often help listed clients think about the best ways to prepare.
Divestitures or acquisitions
We advise on a wide range of other public and private company sell-side and buy-side transactions, as well as demergers and spin-offs.
Debt and equity acquisition financing
Where transactions require the raising of debt and/or equity, we advise on how best to finance or refinance the deal.
Joint ventures and other strategic agreements
We help clients develop and agree a range of other strategic business solutions.
Capital structure reviews
We undertake standalone capital structure reviews, which may involve advising on refinancing and/or renegotiation of debt facilities, discussions with rating agencies or introducing new investors.
Complex restructurings
We help to protect the interests of a company, shareholder, creditor or other key stakeholder involved in a complex restructuring, which can often be adversarial.
Fairness opinions
We advise Boards on the terms of proposed transactions, including where appropriate issuing a fairness opinion.
