DLA Piper

Leveraging strong cross-border capabilities when handling private equity-backed M&A transactions and acquisitions of issued share capital, DLA Piper routinely advises underwriters, sponsors, and management teams. The practice is especially accustomed to acting for major investors in fast-growth tech corporations, regularly spanning across European, North American, and Asian jurisdictions. The team leader Ed Griffiths heavily specialises in group reorganisations and corporate transactions, Tim Wright is knowledgeable in private equity-backed buyouts, while Piero Carbone supports fund managers in the real estate and hospitality industries. John Pryor primarily concentrates on exits, while James Kerrigan operates from Manchester and is an expert in equity investments. Christopher Wilson consistently counsels institutional investors. All lawyers are London-based unless explicitly mentioned otherwise.
