Corporate
Latham & Watkins' highly regarded Corporate Department has an international client base ranging from large, established corporations to emerging companies. Our transactional prowess is evidenced by our consistent rankings in league tables and surveys around the globe. For example, Latham received multiple top-10 rankings in The American Lawyer 2009 Corporate Scorecard for its merger and acquisitions, private equity and capital markets practices and we consistently place among the top firms practicing in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
We offer our transactional clients the vast resources of an integrated network of 27 offices, which allows the firm to handle complex cross-border transactions, while maintaining the on-the-ground understanding of local markets and extensive knowledge of industry-specific issues needed to handle transactions in markets across the globe. From our historical strengths in high-yield finance and leveraged acquisitions, we have developed a group of talented attorneys who are experienced in virtually every aspect of the modern transactional practice.
Our clients range from closely held private companies to publicly traded multinationals, private equity houses, sovereign wealth funds and investment banks; regardless of their size, our clients turn to us for active and dedicated representation and our broad collective expertise. We work closely with our Litigation, Finance, Tax and Environmental Practices to deliver a customized legal "solution" for each specific engagement.
