'Ben Higson brings valuable experience within the nooks and crannies of foreign/cross-border M&A transactions and seamlessly merges overall advice with fine attention to detail.'
Legal 500
Ben’s “valuable experience within the nooks and crannies of foreign/cross-border M&A transactions” sees him recognised for M&A in Legal 500, with clients praising how he “seamlessly merges overall advice with fine attention to detail” and his ability “to reply quickly and pragmatically on any kind of issue or problem.” He is described as a “corporate rising star” by Legal Business and “definitely one to watch” by The Lawyer.
Clients come to Ben for the depth and breadth of his experience and knowledge in domestic and international deals, across the full range of structures, including public and private deals, financial investor investments and exits, joint ventures and strategic alliances and complex commercial contracts. In addition, he has particular experience helping Japanese clients with their deals outside Japan, as well as in the intersecting sectors of energy, natural resources, infrastructure and diversified industrials.
Ben served as an elected member of the firm's global management board between 2014 and 2020; and, during the same period, he was also a member of our international Corporate & Finance leadership team. He is now the co-head of our UK M&A practice.
