Mergers & Acquisitions

We have significant experience in relation to the acquisition and disposal of private companies or businesses from within already listed public companies, whether via share or asset sale. We are able to advise equally on the buy and sell side, whether in the context of a management buy out or otherwise and whether the transaction is leveraged or not.

Over the last 18 months, we have acted on more than 140 private M&A transactions for a combined consideration of more than £10 billion with an average size of more than £70 million per deal, our largest being the $3.4 billion acquisition of GLG Partners, Europe's biggest privately owned hedge fund.
