Conyers‘ ’well prepared, thorough, and knowledgeable‘ department for banking, finance, and capital markets work is undoubtedly one of the heavyweights in the jurisdiction, frequently seen on complex and high-valued matters, from IPOs to multifaceted financings. As part of his role as head of corporate at the firm’s BVI office, Robert Briant oversees the finance team and continues to counsel longstanding client Weatherford International. ’Brilliant M&A, finance and general corporate lawyer‘ Anton Goldstein is a further key figure for major transactions, while Rachael Pape receives client praise for her burgeoning practice, which has particular focus on corporate finance and reorganisations, capital markets, derivatives, and securitisations. Nicholas Kuria ’delivers strong work‘ and is involved across the spectrum of work in this area.
