International and cross-border transactions

Our corporate practice has established a robust international reputation, frequently advising overseas companies on a broad range of transactions involving the UK and European markets. This includes acquisitions of UK companies, strategic joint ventures, and complicated corporate reorganisations that span multiple jurisdictions.

We excel at navigating the nuances of UK regulatory requirements, proactively involving specialist colleagues from our other teams, such as tax, banking and finance, intellectual property, real estate, social housing, employment and pensions, to offer focused and expert advice, whilst using our extensive international network to ensure issues relevant to our clients’ home jurisdictions are also carefully considered.

UK businesses regularly entrust us to manage their international expansion, capitalising on our office network and deep-rooted relationships with reputable local counsel worldwide. Through our active memberships of Multilaw and the European Law Group, we facilitate the coordination of international transactions, providing clarity, consistency, and high-quality advice wherever our clients operate.

We have particular strength in supporting North American enterprises seeking investment opportunities or operational expansion into the UK and Europe. Our dedicated North America group brings a wealth of experience, offering tailored advice that addresses specific market entry strategies and operational needs.

Similarly, our highly regarded India group provides expert counsel on entry and exit strategies between the Indian subcontinent, the UK, and Europe. This specialist knowledge is invaluable for businesses looking to optimise investments and deal with regulatory complexities across these dynamic markets.

Working with our team, clients receive strategic guidance, practical solutions, and reliable expertise, making sure their international transactions are executed smoothly and effectively.
