The Hall & Wilcox Corporate & Commercial team has a long and successful history of acting for participants in management buy-outs and buy-ins and in private equity and venture capital transactions generally.
We also regularly advise other participants (including private equity firms, investor/investee companies and venture capitalists) on issues arising out of public and private capital raisings, IPOs and due diligence. However, our arms-length relationships with these funding sources ensures we can act for management without giving rise to potential conflicts of interest.
We advise on the full range of issues arising out of these transactions, including:
- pre-sale business restructuring;
- capital raisings and divestments;
- fund establishment;
- business and share acquisitions and sales;
- IPOs, back-door listings and exit strategies;
- rights offers and other public capital raisings;
- private capital raisings;
- due diligence – design and implementation; and
- directors’ duties.
