As well as regularly handling corporate-led M&A, including from a cross-border perspective, Greg Williams also has significant exposure to private equity-backed mandates, most notably within the healthcare and life sciences sectors. Aled Walters, who heads up the commercial team, is best-known for his deep knowledge of the highly regulated media and gaming sectors. Other key team members include Mark Loosemore, who is adept at advising on commercial and contractual issues in the sports and media sectors, and Liz Fletcher, whose 2025 return to the firm from Bevan Brittan LLP enhances its capability on technology and commercial contracts and complex outsourcing projects.
