England - London • Corporate and commercial
Mayer Brown International LLP
Drawing particular praise for its tech sector expertise, Mayer Brown International LLP‘s cross-border, mid-market capabilities make it a strong choice for a number of well-known sponsors. The team is headed up by Perry Yam, a seasoned partner whose recent engagements include buy-side deals in the healthcare space. James West is an equally active adviser whose expertise ranges from growth investments to buyouts. ’Commercial, readily available, and client-centric‘, Electra Callan is well regarded for her transactional pedigree across high cap and mid-market work. Tarun Patel’s broad sector expertise covers tech, healthcare, and financial services-oriented deals. Recent highlights for the ‘exceptional’ Paul Rosen – who joined from Katten in August 2022 – include investment deals in the food and beverage sectors.
