Assurance on capital market transactions

We advise companies raising debt or equity capital in the London capital markets. We offer tailored advice to a broad range of businesses from smaller, entrepreneurial companies embarking on the capital markets for the first time to sophisticated national or multinational companies using the international capital markets regularly.

Advice on equity transactions covers all stages of the process, from preparing for life as a public company and selecting the right capital market, to establishing the right team of advisers and advising on regulatory issues. This advice includes compliance with the listing and prospectus rules. We also help companies convert to or from IFRS, UK GAAP or US GAAP, establish the right project management structure, and anticipate the potential pitfalls companies face in preparing for the public capital markets.

European debt transactions typically involve a Eurobond issue or Euro Medium Term Note Programme (EMTN) listed on the stock exchange in London, Luxembourg or another country in the European Union. We provide our clients with a comprehensive array of services including the provision of comfort letters supporting disclosure in offering documents, asset pool due diligence, consistency checks of financial models underpinning transactions and project management skills for large and complex deals.
