With sector strengths in technology, life sciences, and healthcare, Taylor Wessing LLP‘s M&A group has recently seen an uptick in transactions related to cryptocurrency and Web3, as well as cleantech and deep tech. Practice head Emma Danks has expertise in various types of cross-border transactions, including private equity-driven work. Noted for his life sciences focus, Andrew Edge concentrates on public and private M&A, IPOs, and private financing. Real estate specialist Michael Goldberg handles high-value transactions on behalf of banks and retail groups, while Mark Barron focuses on cross-border mergers and acquisitions for US and Canadian businesses. Edward Chapman, who was promoted to partner in May 2023 along with Paul Thorpe, specialises in M&A transactions, joint ventures, and corporate restructuring.

‘Paul Thorpe really stood out. The absolute best, most competent, intelligent, solution oriented, cool-headed and hardworking lawyer we’ve ever worked with.’
‘The entire team were always knowledgeable, friendly and professional, not only throughout the project but post-completion too.’
‘A few standout strengths were the coverage of the diverse team, in terms of both expertise and location, no matter the issue that arose we were calm and confident Taylor Wessing knew how to handle the matter. It was very clear the firm is connected and knew how to navigate any process. The entire project team worked together so seamlessly you would have never guessed it was a cross-border transaction.’
‘Edward Chapman provided the most exceptional service. Could not have asked for anything more, he always went above and beyond in the project. It was the most personal and comprehensive service, but what stood out most was he seemed one step ahead of all the processes. There was never a sudden issue where he did not have a solution already prepared, and this eased any doubt in the project. We look forward to our next engagement with the TW team! ’
