Practice Strengths
-
M&A
- Our team works closely with clients to understand their business goals, guiding them through complex cross-border transactions including acquisitions, investments (both direct and into private equity and other alternative investment funds), divestures, joint ventures, and other strategic transactions. Our English and US-qualified corporate and tax lawyers based in our London office combine cross-border expertise with industry knowledge to serve through our global network the needs of corporates, private equity firms, asset managers, investment funds, and entrepreneurs.

Dispute Resolution
- Our lawyers have extensive experience dealing with litigation and arbitration cases covering a wide range of industries, with particular expertise in the financial services, oil and gas, technology, and energy sectors. Our team regularly acts on complex, multi-million pound cases, representing prestigious and well-known corporations and sovereign States. We have conducted numerous ad hoc and institutional arbitrations in a variety of seats, and have represented clients in the English High Court. We also frequently work with our competition teams in Brussels, London, Asia, and the US to defend companies against competition law damages claims brought in the English High Court.

Investigations and Regulatory
- We advise clients in connection with economic crimes and regulation, including bribery and corruption, proceeds of crime and money laundering, and economic sanctions and export control regulations. Our lawyers have acted on multijurisdictional criminal and regulatory investigations and disputes for clients across multiple industries including financial services. We frequently advise clients in relation to the design and implementation of their compliance policies and provide training.
