Our Equity Capital Markets department is rated in the top tier by leading legal commentators and directories
We act across all industry sectors advising issuers, domestic and international investment banks, brokers and sponsors in Ireland, the UK, Europe and the United States on the full range of domestic and multi-jurisdictional equity capital markets transactions.
We have extensive experience of initial public offerings (on the main markets in Dublin and London, the Euronext Growth Market in Dublin, the AIM Market in London and NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange), placings, secondary sales, rights issues, open offers, direct listings, reorganisations, reverse takeovers and listing rules transactions. We regularly work with clients to find novel solutions to issues which concern publicly listed companies.
We advise many Irish and international public companies, as well as investors, sponsors, brokers and other market participants, on their ongoing compliance and regulatory obligations under the Euronext Dublin and FCA Listing Rules, the Euronext Growth Rules, the AIM Rules and the Transparency, Market Abuse and Prospectus regimes.
Our Equity Capital Markets team also advises investors on their ongoing public and private disclosure requirements under domestic and European law.
We also advise companies and Boards on a wide range of corporate governance issues, including director duties, shareholder activism, strategic reviews, board evaluations, board composition and powers, and committee charters. Members of our team also regularly present at conferences and workshops on corporate governance issues facing public companies.
We also work closely with our Debt Capital Markets and Financial Regulation colleagues on large-scale cross border debt and capital restructurings and re-financings.
