"SJ Berwin has a well established AIM practice” targeting "high-value flotations using innovative structures” Legal 500

SJ Berwin's highly regarded capital markets team acts for issuers, corporate financiers and quoted companies. We provide the full range of advice including IPOs on the official list and AIM, dual and secondary listings, secondary offerings including rights issues, placings and open offers, restructurings and reorganisations.

Our capital markets team has extensive experience advising listed companies and new issuers. We have been key advisers to the specialist VCT market representing a number of issuers - both longstanding and new clients - in the 2004/2006 tax years.

We have been closely involved in the development of the publicly listed Real Estate Investment Trust (REITS). Our clients benefit from this fundamental understanding of the legal and commercial implications of REITs structures.

SJ Berwin has a leading AIM practice. Our involvement in the sector is very strong - having advised on our first AIM IPO on the launch of the market in 1995 - we continue to advise many companies who have chosen AIM as their new home.

We are proud of our first-rate client list which includes a number of the top twenty AIM listed companies and some of the most active AIM nominated advisers and brokers.

Although we act on a wide range of AIM IPOs, our speciality is high value and international admissions, where our overseas network and full range of specialist advisers (tax, finance and regulatory as well as corporate) are able to add value.

We remain at the forefront of developments in the AIM market. Our active seminar programme and regular publications ensure that our clients are informed about regulatory changes and developments.

SJ Berwin recently sponsored an AIM supplement in The Times. Please click here to see our contributions.
