Adam is a partner in the corporate team in London. He advises on transactions on the equity capital markets, as well as public and private M&A. Adam’s main sectors of focus are energy, technology and real estate.

His clients include some of the leading mid-market investment banks in London; he also acts for listed and private companies. The deals he works on often have a cross-border element. Adam has extensive experience of pan-European M&A and regularly advises North American clients on acquisitions and financings. His recent transactions include advising FTSE-250 REIT Sirius Real in connection with two substantial fundraises, each of approximately £150 million.

I thrive on helping clients navigate complex, corporate deals, either for private companies, or on the public markets. It is a privilege to be trusted by clients to support them at important stages in their careers. My aim is always to deliver clear, commercially orientated advice that helps deliver the best outcome.
