The past year has seen our highly regarded M&A practice move confidently beyond the mid-market advising on a number of transactions exceeding €1 billion in value while at the same time maintaining our strength in the upper end of the European mid-market.
The strength of our award winning M&A offering is increasingly recognised in the legal directories, with the Legal 500 saying "SJ Berwin enjoys an excellent reputation in the UK and Europe as a corporate powerhouse servicing the top end of the European mid-market".
We advise on the full breadth of complex M&A transactions – whether public or private, friendly or hostile – including joint ventures, strategic alliances, spin-offs, tender offers, "distressed M&A" and public-to-private transactions.
Supported by a network of international offices, our London based M&A practice has extended its expertise into a number of emerging markets including Africa, India, Pakistan and Russia, as well as developing our transactional infrastructure practice, which has generated a number of high value transactions in recent years, building on our leading infrastructure funds position.
We have recognised strengths in all the core M&A disciplines - a market leading competition practice, highly regarded tax and regulatory practices, outstanding employment and pensions practice and a first-rate acquisition finance practice - allowing us to provide our clients with a genuine full-service M&A offering.
