Bond Pearce

Our team of corporate finance and banking lawyers advise private equity firms, investee companies, management teams and debt providers on all aspects of management buy-outs, buy-ins and private equity funding and development capital.  

We have an impressive track record in mid-market transactions, in particular advising private equity houses.  This is an area in which we have continued to invest during the downturn.  We are used to pulling together multi-disciplinary deal teams to deliver transactions and understand the importance of timely, seamless and cost-effective service.

Whilst we advise on deals across a broad range of industry sectors, what really makes us stand out from our competitors is the knowledge we have from the firm’s key sectors including financial services, oil and gas, renewable energy, retail, hospitality and leisure and real estate. This allows us to spot the critical issues quickly and get straight to the key negotiating points, saving clients time and cost.
