We have developed innovative financing solutions for our clients and continue to be leaders in the banking and capital markets for Debt & Equity and Securitisation.
Initial Public Offerings
As part of a capital-raising plan, you may be considering a public financing, either by way of a traditional IPO, a reverse take-over, or RTO or through a merger with a Special Purpose Acquisition Company, or SPAC. With significant experience acting across a broad range of sectors, advising both issuers and underwriters, we have the breadth of experience necessary to anticipate the complex regulatory, tax and intellectual property issues inherent to an IPO, RTO or SPAC transaction. Moreover, highly practiced at guiding companies through this transformational event, our lawyers ensure that the going public process is carried out so as to be minimally disruptive to your ongoing operations up to the point of completion, enabling you to focus on executing your business priorities.
