Access to capital may be the single most important factor in the evolution of a business, particularly in today’s post-COVID-19 uncertain economic and regulatory environment.
Knowing when to access the markets and how to structure additional capital issuances in such a climate can present significant challenges.
Our International Capital Markets team, including over 80 lawyers, can advise you on successful equity and/or debt capital markets transactions by working alongside you and your other advisers and operating in an efficient and cost effective manner to meet your objectives, whether they be to provide additional firepower for opportunistic acquisitions or as part of a wider recapitalization or refinancing package.
We also have experienced colleagues in our other practice areas, such as tax, derivatives and regulation, who work closely with our capital markets team to ensure that all legal, regulatory, and tax implications of your transaction are considered and seamlessly integrated.
