Expertise
Specialist areas where careful analysis meets a pragmatic approach.
We advise investors, entrepreneurs, founders, family-owned businesses and corporates on mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances, corporate governance, corporate disputes and real estate transactions.
Practice areas
What we advise on.
In practice these areas often overlap: an acquisition affects governance, a joint venture needs sound arrangements for when things go wrong, and real estate often plays a part in a transaction.
We start from the client's objective. Our advice is concise and practical and aimed at progress, whether that means closing a transaction, setting up a joint venture or tightening governance.

We give a view. Memos are no longer than they need to be, recommendations are explicit, and trade-offs between legal risk and commercial objective are spelled out.
Decisive execution
On transactions we focus on what moves the transaction forward, allocating risk where it belongs and resolving issues at the right level of detail.
Sparring partner
We act as a committed legal advisor and a sounding board, comfortable in both multi-stakeholder, cross-border settings and entrepreneurial, owner-driven ones.
