The US and UK equity capital markets team at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom (UK) LLP serves as a key port of call for a wide roster of European and UK issuer-side clients seeking advice on IPOs, listings, and secondary share offerings on American exchanges. The practice is well-versed in handling dual listings, redomiciliations, and cross-border public and private placements, and it also regularly advises issuers and underwriters on early-stage fundraisings in the tech sector. Danny Tricot heads up the team and is well-regarded for his ability to advise on IPOs and secondary fundraisings in growth markets. Public M&A expert Adam Howard is also a name to note. Pranav Trivedi retired in December 2023.
