Nilufer von Bismarck - Slaughter and May

Within: Equity capital markets – mid-large cap

'Peerless for UK issuer work', Slaughter and May is recognised by clients and peers alike as one of the strongest firms for deals on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). According to a market survey, no other law firm acts for more FTSE100 and FTSE250 companies. Of recent note, the team was engaged by Aston Martin in one of the last major LSE IPOs of 2018, and following the slowdown of the IPO market the practice group has been involved in a number of secondary fundraising transactions in connection with M&A. Nilufer von Bismarck heads the equity capital markets practice and also leads the firm's financial institutions group.
