The last few years have seen some real peaks and troughs in corporate deal activity, with a period of record-breaking activity in 2006 and 2007 followed by a steep decline as a result of the credit crunch and the global recession.  So what will the next few months and years bring?  There will certainly be opportunities for increased M&A activity as companies look to buy distressed businesses and take advantage of global transactions.  But the economic landscape is still uncertain and experts are advising businesses to proceed with caution.

It’s times like this when you need lawyers on your side who will give pragmatic advice and go out of their way to help you get the deal done.  The Corporate Finance team at Speechly Bircham has been recognised for its “comprehensive practice” in Legal 500 and is ranked in Band 1 of the London mid-market category in Chambers 2011.
