Norton Rose Fulbright

‘Well plugged in to the market and to current norms’, Norton Rose Fulbright provides ’commercial and efficient’ advice to an increasingly balanced mix of corporates, funds and lenders on often challenging and highly bespoke acquisition finance mandates. A considerable amount of this work takes place within emerging markets, where the firm has a strong track record advising on energy-related acquisition finance deals, including within Africa. The ‘intelligent’ James Dunnett has niche expertise in supporting financial advisers with cash confirmations for the acquisition of publicly listed companies pursuant to the Takeover Code. As part of his wide-ranging finance offering, Michael Black, who co-heads the department with EMEA banking head Madhavi Gosavi, regularly advises US lenders on matters where the ABL product forms part of the overall financing package to facilitate an M&A transaction.
