Osborne Clarke LLP has a robust track record of acting for AIM-listed issuers as well as their nominated advisers and brokers on IPOs as well as on secondary fundraisings by way of retail offerings and private placements. The team is also very active in the public M&A space, where it specializes in advising asset managers on takeovers as well as fund mergers. Practice head Jonathan King stands out for his ability to advise clients in the energy, tech, and life sciences sectors on complex ECM transactions, and Ed Nisbet is noted for his strong relationships with investment banks and funds seeking advice on diverse corporate finance and M&A matters. Louise Grzasko is also highly recommended.
