Fladgate LLP

Corporate

I am a corporate lawyer specialising in public and private M&A.

Having spent over 10 years working in the Magic Circle, I have extensive experience of public M&A transactions. I enjoy the speed and complexity of a public takeover and have acted for numerous Main Market and AIM listed targets, as well as bidders, on both schemes of arrangement and contractual offers. I also regularly advise on the Takeover Code.

I have over 18 years' experience advising on private M&A transactions. I regularly act for entrepreneurs selling their businesses and enjoy building strong working relationships with them, guiding them through the minefield of an M&A process to achieve what is often a life-changing event. I equally enjoy acting for acquisitive corporates, particularly on repeat acquisitions where we can work together to streamline their M&A process.

My practice spans a wide range of sectors. In recent years, I have developed an expertise in ecommerce, software and data, having acted on many deals in these sectors. I also enjoy the challenge of acting in new sectors and recent deals have included sectors as varied as cosmetics, medical parts and financial services.

While I regularly work on domestic transactions, I equally enjoy the additional complexity of cross-border M&A. I have a degree in Modern Languages and am fluent in Italian.
