At Travers Smith, we understand that an IPO is an important event to help you realise your growth ambitions in an ever-changing business landscape. With one of the most active and successful corporate teams in London, we believe we are a stand-out choice to partner with as you consider a London listing. Regularly acting for some of the most high-profile corporate issuers, as well as the most active investment banks in the capital markets, we are consistently viewed as a market-leading team.
Our embedded US Securities law team regularly provides crucial support on matters concerning offerings into the US including 10b-5/Rule 144A coverage. Our experience as a London-based team working internationally uniquely positions us to better understand the various concerns that banks and non-US companies have when seeking to access the US market and to provide US advice in a format that is straightforward and user-friendly for such clients.
Listing is not the end of the journey. Organic growth, strategic M&A, implementing debt structures and entering new markets can all result in increased capital requirements. We regularly advise on secondary issues including placings and open offers, reverse takeovers, block trades and tender offers.
With listed status comes a number of new corporate governance and reporting requirements. A dedicated Listed Company Advisory Team within our Corporate M&A and ECM Group strengthens the relationship with our listed company clients by providing tailored, practical advice on their day-to-day requirements. Drawing on the expertise of specialist practice areas such as Employment, Technology & Commercial Transactions, and Tax, we coordinate advice to ensure that our listed clients have a consistent team that supports the progression of their business plan.
