Mishcon de Reya LLP made a strategically important move in January 2018 by hiring Tim Field from Addleshaw Goddard to head up its equity capital markets team. The firm's historical strengths in venture capital and private equity are a major driver of the capital markets work, with Field's team advising private equity houses on exits from investments via IPOs. It also acts for companies with dominant shareholders/promoters. In addition to undertaking AIM and Main Market listings, it is experienced in cross-border flotations, including those on Euronext, the Irish Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange. It also advises on rights issues and placings, and private placements, among other matters. Saul Sender acts for companies from industries, such as minerals and mining, life sciences and clean tech. Ross Bryson and legal director Shantanu Sinha are other names to note in the group, which also acts for clients in the betting and gaming, real estate and natural resources sectors. Clients include Cloudtag, Woodford Investment Management LLP, finnCap, Cenkos Securities and Tiziana Life Sciences Plc.
