If you want the opportunity to work on interesting and often complex corporate transactions alongside talented and friendly colleagues, then I would absolutely recommend OC Bristol as an option."_ - James Mackay (Associate Director)

The Bristol team provide the full spectrum of corporate services including private equity, venture capital, mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, equity capital markets, restructuring, reorganisations and governance. We focus on acting for clients at the forefront of transformational change in the key sectors of digital business, energy & utilities, financial services, mobility & infrastructure and the built environment, with a number of the partners in the team being leaders in those sectors and attracting high profile and innovative projects.

With clients such as large quoted companies, privately owned businesses, banks, financial institutions and institutional investors, in the last year the Bristol team have acted on over 60 deals with an aggregate value of over £2billion.
