Mergers & Acquisitions


We advise organisations on every aspect of M&A. Whether you’re an individual, SME, sponsor or large corporate, our team of experts can help.

Our team advises UK and international organisations on all aspects of buying and selling companies and businesses. Many of these transactions are international, and they span a range of industry sectors.

We have extensive experience of complex and fast faced M&A transactions. Most of our work is in the mid-market (typically ranging from £5million to £250million), although we can, and do, advise on larger and smaller deals too.

Because we’ve been through it countless times, we know what problems can crop up, and advise on how to avoid, and fix, them. Our goal is to provide clear, pragmatic advice, so you understand the issues and have the confidence to act decisively.

Whether you’re buying or selling, our team of experienced specialists can help guide you through the process.

Testimonials

  • This is a strategic deal for us, and is key in supporting our security portfolio, and we’d like to thank Laura and Tom for their support. Their in-depth knowledge of both the legal and practical aspects of corporate acquisitions, as well as their relevant sector experience means that they were able to handle the transaction from start to finish in a seamless way, and were very commercial in their approach.

  • The team at Capital know what they’re doing – and it’s been apparent on this deal. Their transaction and private equity expertise, experience in the IT services sector, as well as their pragmatic and efficient approach, made it enjoyable to work with the team.

  • Terrafend is a fast growing, venture capital backed sustainability company. Consequently, many of our transactions are diverse in nature and have tight execution timetables. In Sarah, we found the ideal legal counsel to guide and support our business growth. She has a strong understanding of corporate finance, great attention to detail and an innovative and pragmatic thought process – imperative for early stage businesses who have to ‘get things done’, without compromise and to the highest possible professional standards.

  • I can’t recommend Capital Law enough if you are selling equity in your business. The team led by Gareth Williams-Davies were thoroughly professional and were able to offer a commercially balanced view on all aspects of the transaction. The breadth of skills within Capital Law allowed Gareth to bring in specialist colleagues when required and I could not have been represented better. Gareth’s calm and experienced tone was a great advantage during some of the trickier negotiations and he was a significant factor in completing the transaction.
