Our corporate finance solicitors provide corporate finance advice to businesses at all stages of their development, from seed capital to floatation. Our practice covers a wide range of disciplines including initial funding and structuring, M&A, private equity and public company transactions. Our breadth of expertise and experience enables us to provide tailored, cost-effective and pragmatic legal advice.
Our clients range from start-ups, seeking initial funding and advice on structuring and shareholder relationships, to listed companies and multi-national businesses seeking further investment. Our corporate finance solicitors also have considerable experience of taking businesses through an initial venture capital funding process and onwards to a sale or listing. Acquisitions or disposals in the course of a business' life cycle are also a key feature of our work.
Corporate restructuring and insolvency related corporate advice is an increasing part of our practice as we respond to the pressures on our clients and the realities of the economy. We also advise directors and shareholders on their rights, duties and obligations.
We will work closely with other teams at Kingsley Napley who may well be relevant to the transaction, for example real estate and employment, and with a client’s other professional advisers. If we need to involve additional professionals, we have close relationships with corporate finance advisers, banks and accountants, and so will ensure that the right advice and support is given at the right time.
