Our Corporate and M&A team represents buyers, sellers, private-equity providers and target companies in local, national and international mergers and acquisitions across a broad range of industry sectors. Our team manages M&A transactions by drawing together the necessary legal and tax partners within Dillon Eustace to advise and guide clients on the most efficient and effective way to bring each transaction through to completion.

Typically, complex mergers or acquisitions require our Corporate and M&A team to complement its own transactional, competition-law, pensions and intellectual-property expertise with the specialisation and insights of lawyers from our Taxation, Real Estate and Banking and Capital Markets teams. In doing so, the team delivers a comprehensive and efficient service to clients and managers whose time and availability can, due to demands of running their day-to-day businesses, be extremely limited.
