Experience that matters
Strong, committed and experienced teams led by hands-on partners
A full service equity capital markets practice
As true experts in ECM, our lawyers have extensive experience advising on ECM transactions of all sizes across a diverse range of sectors and markets. Our experience includes IPOs, entitlement offers, equity subscriptions, rights issues, private placements, block trades and buy backs. We also work closely with lawyers in our DCM practice on hybrid issues.
International capability
Our offering in the major global commercial centres means that we advise on some of the largest capital raisings, including those which span borders. Our capabilities extend to US law, where our regional capital markets teams include US securities lawyers with further support provided from the US for US tax, pension and investment company advice on international securities transactions.
Commercially savvy and technically excellent lawyers
Our ECM lawyers are true experts, many of whom have benefited from secondment to the ECM teams of investment banks. They have a strong track record of advising on high value, high profile and technically challenging transactions. Our practice is balanced acting for issuers, banks and shareholders, thereby understanding the issues and complexities from all angles.
Providing a safe pair of hands on IPOs
Our global team has assisted many clients to come to market, or once listed, tap the market to meet their strategic capital needs. Recognising that an IPO is a company-transforming event, we work closely with our clients on pre-IPO structuring, throughout the IPO process and beyond as a listed company.
