At Simmons, we have an established Public M&A practice, advising bidders, targets, shareholders and financial advisers on public takeovers.
Our team has considerable experience gained from secondments at major corporates, investment banks and regulatory bodies. Associate Thomas Grace is currently seconded at the Takeover Panel and consultant Mark Curtis was seconded at the Panel in 2000-2002.
Clients recognise our knowledge of how the Panel operates as a significant advantage. Working for all shareholders on public M&A transactions means that we also have broad understanding of market practice and how to execute a deal effectively.
