Accessing equity capital markets is a major step for any business – whether preparing for an IPO, raising additional funds or navigating complex market transactions.
Success depends on precise legal execution combined with strategic insight and a clear understanding of investor expectations.
Our equity capital markets (ECM) team delivers exactly that. We advise UK and international companies (as well as sponsors, nomads, brokers and financial advisers) on the full range of ECM transactions. We combine technical excellence with practical solutions tailored to your objectives and we’re trusted by businesses across a range of sectors for complex and high-value ECM transactions. Our market-leading ECM team is ranked first for the total number of retained clients across all three of the UK’s stock exchanges (the Main Market, AIM and Aquis).
We provide comprehensive support on ECM matters including pre-IPO planning and structuring, IPOs, introductions and fast-track admissions, secondary fundraisings (including placings, open offers, and rights issues), delistings, class transactions and reverse takeovers, Takeover Code transactions and schemes of arrangement, corporate governance and ongoing compliance.
Recent transactions include advising on the £577m AIM IPO of Big Technologies Plc, the £572m AIM IPO of Eddie Stobart Logistics Plc, and the £85m placing by AIM-listed Johnson Service Group plc through an accelerated book-building process.
