Praised for the way its 'collaboration and cohesion shines through in how they engage with clients', the team at Macfarlanes LLP is especially well-regarded for its close relationships with investment funds and its expertise across complex ECM work, including equity placements, takeovers, and capital restructurings. The group also regularly advises brokers and NOMADs, with notable strength in asset manager M&A. The 'highly experienced' and 'commercially astute' Richard Burrows leads the team, advising across the full spectrum of corporate and capital markets work, from public takeovers and IPOs to private fundraisings and acquisitions. The 'sharp and diligent' Sanjana Singh is also recommended.
