Financial Services Transactions

Farrer & Co's Corporate team has market-leading expertise in complex, high-value transactional and advisory work for a wide range of private banks and wealth managers. We offer deep and comprehensive expertise tailored to the needs of a range of PRA and FCA regulated clients. We act for buyer and seller transactions and are well versed in the issue from both perspectives.

Our legal experience in financial M&A transactions

Our experience in the sector means we understand how important transactions are, from a commercial, regulatory and people perspective. We are pragmatic and understand the complex issues and practical concerns in regulated transactions. Our knowledge helps to structure and execute transactions in a creative and efficient way within the regulatory framework.

We work closely with our clients, their internal teams and external advisors to ensure that our advice is aligned to the business requirements. 

Our financial services legal team

Our specialist lawyers are deeply involved with the regulatory aspects of transactions from advice and regulatory consent to post-transaction integration. We understand the importance of people in transactions and our employment specialists advise on the process of transferring employees, changes to terms and wider incentive structures as part of transactions. Our experience is gained from advising on regulated transactions but also advising our clients on a wide range of business and regulatory matters outside transformational M&A. 

We also advise founders and a range of growth companies, including fintech clients, on fund-raisings, investments and exits.

Our advisory work for clients includes advice on complex business issues, including equity based incentive schemes and group restructuring.
