Business Profile
Among the diverse instructions we have recently accepted within the Financial Services Group are:
- establishment of syndicated property investment arrangements
- "passporting" of an EU investment manager to run a new UK collective investment scheme
- compliance reviews for insurance companies and stockbrokers
- financial promotion issues for private equity funding
- demutualisation of mutual life office, especially contractual and rebranding issues
- capital subscriptions into limited partnerships
- employment issues consequent upon the transfer of registered individuals
- structuring of back-to-back derivatives for guaranteed bond products
- advising on insider dealing legislation and money laundering rules in the context of possible official investigations
- the establishment of offshore funds
- documentation for online broker trading
- reverse takeover of a public listed company
In addition we routinely handle sale and purchase agreements, shareholders and subscription agreements, loan note documentation and undertake due diligence and verification exercises in a regulated environment.
Where necessary we work closely with regulators and aim to bring them "on side" to clients' proposals. We welcome working in a team with fellow professionals, for example accountants and brokers, to provide unified advice. We offer the same quality of services as large City firms and our fee rates enable us to be attractive to clients requiring value for money.
