Stibbe’s equity capital markets cohort is experienced in handling the gamut of related work. In the matters it handles for its array of well-known clients from sectors ranging from chemical, to online entertainment, to telecoms, the team covers high-value and often cross-border work featuring takeovers, acquisitions, and combinations of businesses, as well as IPOs. Pieter Schütte is particularly experienced in handling the remit of high-stakes transactions and advising on investments, whilst Derk Lemstra has a strong reputation for his work in significant IPOs; the pair co-lead the practice. Nora Offergelt is a key practitioner amongst the cohort, appointed counsel in June 2022.
