Clifford Chance
Thanks to its integrated approach, Clifford Chance seamlessly advises clients on matters touching on both ECM and DCM and further impresses with close cooperation with its private equity practice. The team acts for both issuers and underwriters across various transactions, such as dual track IPOs, SPACs and capital increases as well as private placements and hybrid bonds. George Hacket has special knowledge of US securities law, which he often applies in the context of international securities transactions, and is an ECM key contact; as is Axel Wittmann, whose range of experience includes IPOs, convertible bonds and compliance issues.
