Led from Cardiff by ‘exceptional’ transactional lawyer Geraint Tilsley, and regularly aided by practitioners across the firm’s UK-wide network of offices, Lewis Silkin punches above its weight relative to its size for M&A work. Although it does handle some local matters, a substantial proportion of the team’s workload has cross-border elements, driven in large part by Tilsley’s strong ties with US/international funds and corporates.
