Few areas of finance have been so quickly and thoroughly globalised as the securities business. While business is global, regulation remains national, or at best regional. Today large transactions require in-depth local expertise linked and co-ordinated within a single law firm. We provide this service.

In our securities practice we handle equity securities, eurobonds, medium term notes, commercial paper programmes, high-yield bonds, convertibles and other hybrid securities, project bonds and asset-backed securities, warrant programmes, derivatives, and structured products, using corporate and finance lawyers across the network.

In addition to the major investment banks we act for many governments and leading corporations worldwide. Our experience covers many industry sectors, handling transactions in IT and telecoms, media and technology, energy, transport and manufacturing.

For more information please contact Nesochi Udogu, business development executive.
