WHAT
WE DO

We forge strong relationships at the institutional level, and build lasting, individual ones on the personal front. Capital markets transactions typically involve multiple deal team members, including legal counsel, auditors, selling shareholders, the issuer company and the investment banks. The ability to successfully execute such transactions greatly depends on the ability to build consensus on transaction issues between all members of the deal team.

We engage with our clients across levels to ascertain priorities. Our experience serves us in quickly identifying situation and client-specific sensitivities, to proactively find optimal solutions for all parties. Our team also constantly monitors key deliverables through the transaction process to facilitate smooth execution.

Various members of our team also have experience in other practice areas, such as mergers and acquisitions, private equity and banking and finance, which enables us to employ a broader perspective.
