Stephenson Harwood’s listed funds operation runs the full gamut of mandates, and has been active in some of the IPOs and the hostile takeover defences seen in the market recently. Practice leader Alex Haynes is experienced in the establishment of funds, fundraisings, and reorganisations and reconstructions, as well as handling corporate transactions for investment managers. He is joined by William Saunders, who acts for investment trusts, offshore funds and investment managers; Carolyn Hall, who handles corporate matters for clients in the investment space, advising issuers and investment banks on IPOs; and Nick Horton, whose remit spans launches and regulatory, management and reconstruction work, advising funds and their managers. Alexa Whitehead is a key name for corporate transactions and actions, and Kate Longman’s caseload spans IPOs, secondary issuings, reconstructions, and more.
