Team Services

We advise our clients throughout the entire investment life cycle, from the acquisition itself (including structuring), through financing operations, development and investments, to refinancing. We also advise banks and other financial institutions, private companies and public sector entities on domestic and international financing transactions across all sectors – commercial, financial and public. We have vast experience in all types of financing, including syndicated and club financing, both through standard loan transactions and promissory note programs or bond issues. We have also recently grown our experience in financing start-ups, particularly in the form of venture capital. We work closely with other top professionals, including specialists in corporate law, investment funds, securities and, of course, leading tax advisers. Due to the cross-border nature of much of our work, we have established extensive and long-standing relationships with leading law firms in other jurisdictions, which allows us to provide our clients with a one-stop shop, regardless of the international aspect of the transaction.

We are a recognised specialist on capital market transactions, with our capital markets practice ranging from large corporate senior bond transactions and hedge fund structures, to specific (tailor-made) unnamed securities and derivatives issues. Given our expertise in structuring financial transactions and in-depth knowledge of national and supranational regulation, we advise primarily on complex and first-of-its-kind issues. Our experts have been involved in the implementation of many EU regulations affecting capital markets, including the implementation of the Prospectus Regulation, the Transparency Directive, the Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) and Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFM) Directives, and the MIFID2/MIFIR regulatory instruments.
