Four Reasons Why Choose AG for M&A

No two clients or deals are the same, so we always start with what’s important to you. You’ll experience quick immersion meetings, capped fees by default when project scope can be clearly defined, and ongoing market updates. To us, delighted clients and long-term relationships are more important than short-term profit. That’s why many of our FTSE100 relationships have been in place for over 20 years and counting.
2. CLEAR & SHARP
We’re that friend that will tell you straight. Protecting your interests. Negotiating hard. And pursuing the best possible outcome. You’ll get clear recommendations based on the commercial context of your deal, and the right people at the right levels doing the right work.

We solve problems, defuse situations, improve efficiency and get the deal done. We’ll bring you all the experts you need, use due diligence technology to manage risk, and agree a post-transaction plan to ensure your deal is progressing as planned. All of which are just examples of the reasons why we were ranked as a Top 5 law firm for innovation in Europe (FT, 2021).
