Their corporate practice includes a Merger and Acquisitions (M&A) division specialised in advising organisations on their most challenging and strategically important M&A transactions. In executing these transactions, their M&A division co-operates closely with their tax, regulatory, property, employment, banking and intellectual property specialists. In supporting their clients in their transactions, their work is characterised by an ability to manage complexity and work simultaneously and in close collaboration with other non-legal consultants engaged to advice on such transactions.
