Our practice

Our MACM practice (combining Mergers & Acquisitions and Capital Markets) provides services to a range of corporate clients and financial institutions on a broad spectrum of corporate and commercial matters.

This multidisciplinary approach is often combined with cross-border aspects that may also require working together with foreign counsel.
