With a strong track record for mid-market deals, mergers and acquisitions work drives Wragge & Co's corporate practice.

The team combines commercial intuition and excellent market knowledge to advise on all aspects of UK and cross-border mergers & acquisition (M&A) including recommended and unsolicited offers, strategy, negotiations, auction sales, restructurings, de-mergers, project management, public to private takeovers, schemes of arrangement and shareholder agreements.

Support from pensions, property, antitrust, IP, employment, tax, banking and insurance experts completes a full and focused M&A service. A Transaction Services team dedicated to carrying out due diligence ensures each deal proceeds without a hitch.

International work sees the team advise UK companies on cross-border deals and assist corporates based in the US, Canada, Europe and Asia on UK and multi-jurisdictional transactions. Deals include a trio of transactions worth $1.03 billion for European real estate developer Parkridge, a £17.5 million cross-border deal for Spectris plc and a simultaneous acquisition and disposal deal for FTSE-listed Hill & Smith Holdings plc totalling €54 million.
