Capital markets

Our Capital Markets team advise on IPOs, corporate fundraising, funds and related regulatory compliance.

"Numbers on board.

The UK prides itself on being one of the strongest global capital markets. We help growing companies to tap into this cash pool of funds and take advantage of the opportunities the UK provides young businesses.

With an increasingly complex regulatory environment, we know you will want a team behind you which knows the market inside out. We will provide you with commercial and pragmatic advice based on our many years of experience.

Whether you are looking to raise capital to fund your growth ambitions or are looking to list in the UK to access new markets, our team of expert lawyers can help you.

We have excellent relationships with brokers, investment banks, regulators, fund managers, and investors and use these connections to benefit our clients. 

The UK capital market is split into three. The main market is designed for larger companies, while the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) is more suited to younger, fast-growing companies and NEX is a new market designed for smaller businesses. We advise clients on all of these markets. 

We have helped clients from all over the world looking to float in London. We will want to know your strategic objectives so we can ensure that our advice aligns with these. 

We have a particular expertise acting for listed private equity funds known as VCT's which invest in privately owned UK growing businesses, acting for some 80% of the VCT marketplace.
