Corporate Finance

Our successful corporate finance practice has a wealth of experience advising public companies, with a particular strength in relation to AIM work. We represent a number of companies listed on the full list and on AIM, and also advise stockbrokers and nominated advisers in relation to flotations, debt and equity placings and regulatory matters.

We are also an PLUS Corporate Adviser and represent companies quoted on stock exchanges overseas.

The team is technically excellent and, if you are making an initial public offering, will work closely with you to ensure a successful transition from private ownership to public status. A number of our most active clients have instructed the firm throughout their development from start-ups or small private companies, and we are pleased to be able to continue to work with them as public companies. Once a listing is achieved, we assist by advising on raising further capital through secondary placings and also help our corporate clients grow through takeovers, mergers and acquisitions.

Partners also have experience of acting as non-executive directors enabling us to appreciate the difficult issues with which company directors have to deal from time to time.

Our expertise in this area includes

• IPOs (on the main market, AIM and PLUS)
• Placings, Rights Issues and other Secondary Issues
• Capital re-organisations and restructurings
• Reverse Takeovers
• Mergers and Acquisitions involving public companies
• Overseas companies seeking flotations in the United Kingdom
• Corporate advisory work
• Corporate governance
