The ECM team consists of 4 full-time partners (2 English and 2 US law qualified) based in London, with additional partners undertaking ECM and corporate finance work involving public companies. The team balances issuer and underwriter side roles, acting on deals in the UK and across EMEA, including the Middle East, Africa, Russia, and CIS, and CEE.

Regulatory Expertise

The ECM practice has been at the forefront of regulatory developments in the UK and Europe, helping shape thinking around recent and current reforms of the UK financial services and listings landscape. We are involved with government and regulatory bodies, industry groups, trade associations, and policy initiatives regarding financial services laws, regulations, and market practice.

Associate Responsibilities
  • Managing client coordination and project delivery.
  • Advising on risk management, corporate governance, and broader ESG matters.
  • Business development, including developing a personal plan and assisting with and implementing an ECM business development campaign.
