Equity capital markets
“An acknowledged leader in international corporate finance”
Chambers & Partners 2010
Financial institutions and multi-national clients value our commercial and pragmatic approach to equity capital markets and our track record of innovation. Our global equity capital markets team focuses on Europe, Asia Pacific, Canada, Africa and the Middle East.
We advise on initial public offerings (IPOs), rights issues and other secondary offerings, private placements, convertible bonds and other equity-linked matters.
We are particularly strong in the mid-market and handle all types of ECM transactions, from niche AIM listings in the UK to migrations from AIM to the Main Market and global equity offerings for large multi-nationals.
With a thriving US capital markets practice in the UK, Hong Kong and Canada, we offer a complete service for international equity offerings. We advise clients on SEC-registered public offerings in the US, Rule 144A/Regulation S offerings and traditional “private placements” into the US. We also advise on establishing American Depository Receipt and Global Depository Receipt programmes and SPAC listings, as well as Sarbanes Oxley and other ongoing SEC requirements.
We offer you
- a complete service for international equity offerings, with UK and US advice
- particular expertise in AIM listings
- sector expertise in financial institutions, energy, infrastructure, mining and commodities, real estate, transport, technology and innovation and pharmaceuticals and life sciences
