Issuers, major shareholders and underwriters of capital markets transactions benefit from lawyers who understand global markets, shape regulation and advise on the most complex and innovative deals. As one of the world’s leading capital markets law firms, we have helped companies to list in over 20 international venues across our network, spanning the key global finance hubs.
On high-profile and cross-border initial public offerings (IPOs) and listings we provide you with multijurisdictional advice and proven technical knowledge to ensure compliance with evolving regulatory practices. We are at the forefront of regulation and market practice and in constant dialogue with key agencies and stakeholders.
Our practice spans working with issuers, major shareholders and underwriters, including all the major market intermediaries, on the full range of equity and equity-linked transactions. These include complex and innovative offerings of securities, IPOs and secondary fundraisings and many form part of broader and sophisticated mergers and acquisitions, refinancings, acquisition financings and restructurings.
We are also one of the few law firms to combine global leading equity capital markets insight alongside leading US securities and SEC registered offering experience, a capability further backed by our deep heritage in the New York market. Our US securities lawyers regularly advise on IPOs, US placements of common and preferred stock and convertible debt, including those under SEC Rule 144A and private investments in public equities, Regulation S offerings, registered direct offerings, confidentially marketed public offerings and at-the-market offerings as well as US listing compliance and reporting.
