KPMG Law‘s focus areas include M&A, investments, joint ventures, as well as corporate restructurings and reorganisations. Leveraging the firm’s international network to comfortably operate across the full spectrum of – frequently multijurisdictional – corporate transactions, the department’s comprehensive offering also benefits from collaborations with the firm’s tax and accounting teams. Emma Gibson leads the team alongside Tim Sydor, who is a key contact for management teams in private equity buyouts. Duncan Kay left the firm in January 2025.
