CMS

CMS stands out in the market for the strength of its international offering, which covers equity transactions across the European, Asian, UK, and US markets and targets a diverse client roster of growth and listed companies, listed funds and brokers, and investment banks. The team regularly acts on UK and international fundraises by way of retail offerings as well as private placements, and it also handles a steady stream of equity transfers and reverse takeovers. Integrated US securities expertise further allows the team to handle international and dual listings. Practice head Alasdair Steele has extensive experience acting for Main Market- and AIM-listed companies, while James Parkes handles a broad range of domestic and international M&A and ECM transactions. Jack Shepherd and Kate Badr are also highly recommended.
