Flotations/Takeovers and Public Markets

At JMW, we can provide the legal guidance your business needs when going through a flotation or takeover. We act on behalf of listed companies and have worked with corporate finance houses and brokers in the public market sector.

We are aware of the legal and commercial issues that face clients in this sector and we are able to work with you at an early stage to assist with pre-initial public offering (IPO) preparation and planning, ensuring your business is prepared for list well in advance of any IPO process.

How We Work

We can assist with all aspects of business, including specifically for the public markets:

• Initial public offerings (predominantly AIM)
• Reverse takeovers, offers and schemes of arrangement
• Public to private transactions
• Regulatory compliance and guidance

We will work alongside you, providing the support you need at every step of a flotation or takeover, offering expert legal assistance to make sure everything runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

The Importance of Expert Legal Advice

This is a highly complex and regulated area, and so receiving sound legal advice is essential to make sure that everything is carried out correctly. We can help you prepare all of the necessary legal documents and will guide you throughout the process, from start to finish, ensuring you have access to the very best legal support at every stage.

A flotation or takeover is not something that companies will go through many times, and is not, therefore, just another deal and should not be treated as such. It is imperative that you seek legal advice to make sure you give yourself and your company the best possible chance of securing the right outcome in such an important deal that can have huge implications for all involved.
