Corporate/M&A lawyers

The life of a business never remains static. Corporate activity drives the business world and attracts ever increasing scrutiny and regulation.

Our international team of more than 1,000 corporate lawyers in over 72 offices worldwide, of whom over 250 are based in the UK, can assist you in all aspects of corporate law, both domestically and internationally.

We advise on M&A, private equity, equity capital markets, joint ventures and corporate advisory issues.
