Mergers & Acquisitions/Private Equity

Milbank’s corporate practice in Europe has grown significantly since 1998, involving the representation of buyers and sellers, private equity investors, strategic partners and financial advisors, particularly in connection with private equity sponsored leveraged buyouts and cross-border transactions.

Milbank’s European M&A practice is supported by a team of acquisition finance, securitisation and international tax lawyers located in London, Germany and New York, as well as by lawyers in London and elsewhere practising in the areas of technology and intellectual property, litigation, environmental, antitrust and employee benefits. With emphasis on active and sustained partner involvement, we assist our clients in structuring, negotiating and executing the full range of M&A transactions and related financings.

The group’s work focuses heavily on complex private equity transactions, including take-privates, where we are able to combine our transactional and financing expertise to provide sophisticated, commercial advice in complex leveraged and management buyouts.

The group’s lawyers also have experience in the full range of other merger and acquisition transactions, including public takeovers, mergers, stock and asset acquisitions and dispositions, joint ventures and other strategic alliances, restructurings and recapitalizations.
