Navigating mergers and acquisitions (M&A)

In this episode Jamie Lane is joined by Niraj Patel, head of our Corporate Finance Team, and Charlie Fletcher, a partner who specialises in transactional work including M&A at law firm Mishcon de Reya.

Jamie, Niraj and Charlie discuss the overarching topic of M&A, including:

• What is M&A?
• What the process involves,
• Why it takes place, and
• How it is implemented within the legal sector.

Charlie also has first-hand experience of this type of transaction, as Mishcon de Reya and Taylor Vinters completed their merger on 1 January 2023. In today’s discussion, Charlie provides insight on the merger and goes into greater detail on specific areas such as culture, communication and how it has benefited the firm as a whole.
