Mourant’s corporate team is particularly adept at handling private equity transactions, advising clients on procuring financing, on executing deals, and on transactions conducted using Jersey cash box structures. Gareth Rigby and Jon Woolrich lead the group, with the former assisting with M&As, joint ventures and restructurings, and the latter focusing on private equity deals and IPOs. Sarah Huelin is sought after by financial services clients looking to restructure or redomicile, while also advising on Jersey’s regulatory and AML regime. James Hill also provides support in regard to restructuring efforts, with further expertise in debt and equity transactions.
