Mergers and acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions represent defining moments in a company’s lifecycle, whether pursuing growth through acquisition or achieving an exit.

At Hill Dickinson our experienced, multi-disciplinary team works seamlessly to provide the depth of resource needed for major strategic transactions.

Partners lead negotiations from the front, with extensive experience managing multi-jurisdictional corporate activity, advising on complex private acquisitions and public takeovers. We combine technical excellence with deep market insight to help clients navigate high-stakes transactions with confidence.

For transactions involving private companies, we will guide you through all stages of deal-making – from strategic planning and due diligence to negotiation and execution – delivering commercially focused solutions that align with your business goals.

Regularly advising on public takeovers, our team is well-versed in the UK Takeover Code and regulatory landscape, regularly advising boards, bidders, and target companies on public offers, contested takeovers, and shareholder engagement.

Strong relationships built across various client industries enable us to deliver practical solutions that work in competitive markets. We constantly seek more effective and innovative ways to manage deals for your benefit.

Recently, we have advised Main Market company ADES International Holding plc on its US$516 million recommended cash takeover by Innovative Energy Holding Ltd; US private equity firm, Abry Partners on the sale of Innovisk Capital Partners to Chicago-headquartered Ryan Specialty; and MSS Group on acquisition by Stellex Capital Management.
