Slaughter and May brings 'extremely high professionalism and technical competence' to a roster of prestige domestic and international clients, including numerous prominent multinationals. Among other high profile mandates, the department recently advised Cineworld and its administrators on the tax aspects of its Chapter 11 restructuring and pre-pack administration. Mike Lane leads the team, and has a broad practice which covers M&A, capital markets transactions, and structured finance. Key names include Gareth Miles, who advised Cineworld in their restructuring, and Dominic Robertson, whose practice covers both contentious and non-contentious matters. Charles Osborne is experienced in highly complex international transactions, while Sarah Osprey covers tax aspects of corporate finance transactions, and provides support on day-to-day tax issues. Senior counsel Emma Game leads on pensions tax.
