England - London • Corporate and commercial
Dorsey & Whitney
Praised by clients for its ‘pragmatic, commercial approach’, the corporate team at Dorsey & Whitney is well positioned to advise clients across the technology, healthcare and financial services sectors. In recent years, the practice has developed a specialism advising sports media companies on M&A activity. The practice is steered by Kate Francis, who focuses on M&A – both domestic and cross-border – and capital market transactions. Fabrizio Carpanini, described as a ’master of detail’, covers the entire spectrum of transactional work, including corporate finance and international joint ventures. The team has been bolstered by the arrival of Jamie Crawford from Gateley Legal in March 2023.
