"Popular with clients, who describe the team's quality of service as uniformly excellent” Legal 500

SJ Berwin is a leading player in the French, German, Italian and Spanish M&A and MBO markets, operating from offices in Berlin, Frankfurt, Madrid, Milan, Munich, Paris and Turin. Working closely with specialists in our tax, banking, financial services, intellectual property and employment groups, we have the resources and expertise to handle the largest transactions and the energy to drive the process forward.

Our approach is intensely commercial: our aim is always to identify the critical path at the outset and to understand and discuss the key issues early on, so that we understand your business logic and can ease the process to completion.
 
Our partners are acknowledged experts in their fields, and many focus on specific industry sectors including retail, media and communications, technology and real estate, enabling the team to provide informed, commercial advice which is both creative and at the cutting edge.

We keep our clients up to date with developments in the law and market practice as they happen. Our active seminar programme and regular publications ensure that our clients stay one step ahead. Our weekly bulletin, Private Equity Comment, has over 4000 subscribers.

In January 2006, we received recognition of outstanding achievement in the "Mid Market Private Equity Deal of the Year" category at the Acquisitions Monthly Awards for our work in advising Lion Capital on the acquisition of Wagamama.  We were also named "Legal Adviser of the Year" for our work on the sale of Pantheon to Tacoma-based Russell Investment Group at the BVCA/Real Deals Private Equity Awards 2004.
