Corporate Finance

THIS is important reading for anyone whose business is touched by the law. And that means everyone in business. Listed companies or charities. Partnerships or owner-managed enterprises. Limited liability partnerships or private corporations.

Bond Pearce is a large national law firm with strong local roots in communities across the UK. Its solicitors provide the full panoply of legal advice to boardrooms and in-house lawyers in all sectors of the economy, whether trading at home or abroad.

Bond Pearce has no delusions of grandeur. Its experts are leaders in their respective fields, although they make no claim to be uniquely well-qualified or skilled. However, they do believe their firm's lack of pretension is a virtue.

"We have a good team spirit, and our clients become part of that," partner Stephen Pierce says. "We pride ourselves on getting to the essence of what a client is trying to achieve, not just applying formulaic law.

"We deliver deals cost-effectively and we're open about fees. Clients know where they are at every stage."

These pages explore concisely how Bond Pearce has grown by becoming immersed in the businesses its clients run and by offering coherent advice across the spectrum. It covers private equity, management buy-outs, corporate joint ventures, legal due diligence, mergers and acquisitions - and more.
