Regulatory compliance risk is an increasingly key value and execution factor in financial sector transactions.
Working with our world-class M&A team, we handle complex, high-value and innovative transactions, guiding clients on managing regulatory risk across multiple jurisdictions.
We work with financial institutions, buyers and sellers on public and private mergers, acquisitions and corporate restructurings (domestic and cross-border) and advise them how to cover compliance risk allocation in transaction documentation, and how to manage regulatory notifications and approval processes to achieve timely execution of deals.
