Nilufer von Bismarck - Slaughter and May

Within: Equity capital markets

Known for its excellent client base and high-value mandates, Slaughter and May's 'hugely responsive, extremely commercial' team 'takes complex problems, devours them and produces an answer'. It primarily advises issuers on equity capital markets matters, from germination to IPOs and post-listing work. Real estate, financial services and oil and gas have been especially busy sectors recently; Susannah Macknay and Jeff Twentyman acted for Glenveagh Properties on its £550m IPO on the ISE and the LSE, and Macknay – along with Steven Galbraith and Richard Smith – assisted Kosmos Energy with its secondary listing on the LSE. David Johnson is 'brilliant for straightforward, pithy advice'; he and the 'focused, upbeat' Sally Wokes acted for Segro on a £573m rights issuance. Other clients of the 'exceptionally good' practice include Ultra Electronics Holdings, Atlas Mara and HomeServe. The 'bright, incisive' Nilufer Von Bismarck heads the department.
