Insights and events
As a partner in our international corporate practice in London, Caitlin advises clients on a wide range of corporate and other complex transactional matters, with a particular focus on helping clients to build their businesses through mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures.
Caitlin frequently acts on transactions which are at the intersection of business and government, whether representing clients making acquisitions in highly regulated industries, or working to build strategic partnerships between the private and public sectors. Caitlin has significant experience helping clients through complex separation or integration issues, and much of her work involves transactions which combine an acquisition or investment with a long-term commercial relationship or strategic partnership.
