Mergers and acquisitions

Hill Dickinson’s multi-disciplinary team works together seamlessly to support companies with major strategic transactions, as well as with their day-to-day business needs. 

We aim to build strong relationships with our clients and invest in understanding the industry sectors within which they operate. Our lawyers have extensive experience in project managing complex and multi-jurisdictional corporate activity. We regularly advise corporates, financial institutions, private equity houses, partnerships and individuals on acquisitions, disposals, mergers and demergers and restructurings.

We constantly seek more effective and innovative ways to manage transactions for our clients’ optimum benefit. To this end we have developed the only specialist due diligence product - Intelligentsia. Through Intelligentsia, we offer our clients a bespoke approach to project-managing a due diligence exercise.  This results in more effective analysis and reporting of critical business issues, which in turn enables our clients to make better-informed decisions and greater cost-savings.
