The life of a business never remains static. Corporate activity drives the business world and attracts ever increasing scrutiny and regulation. The outlook for M&A is changing and the biggest issue is how to deal with more distressed M&A than ever before, while focusing on thinking on green field investments versus international acquisitions.

Way beyond the boundaries of any prediction, different scenarios are now unfolding, from the optimisation of processes and cash flow to stabilisation programmes or, in some cases, bankruptcy. Companies face the emergency of another level of complexity from the sudden arrival of a raft of previously unforeseen circumstances with far-reaching implications for businesses and their people.

Whatever your opportunities or challenges may be, our team is specially designed to understand your business needs and provide crucial advice in each transaction.

We can help you shape your strategy, manage risks and make the most of business opportunities in these areas:

  • Mergers, Acquisitions and Investments
  • Private Equity (LBOs, MBOs and MBIs)
  • Companies Restructurings
  • Corporate Finance
  • Joint Ventures and Strategic Alliances
  • Corporate Governance
  • Privatisations
  • Restructuring and Reorganisations of National and International Groups

We have an in-depth knowledge of how corporate M&A law applies in practice across different markets and with cross-disciplinary teams, we work to provide advice close to our clients’ needs.
