Based in London, I am a partner in Bird & Bird's International Corporate Group.

The capital markets experts based in London have advised on four placings which closed within the same week.

The team advised leading brokers:

  1. WH Ireland in relation to the fundraising for exploration company UK Oil & Gas plc. an ambitious oil and gas exploration company. This transaction follows UK Oil & Gas' readmission to the AIM Market last year which the team also advised on.

  2. WH Ireland in relation to the fundraising for lithium miner, Cadence Minerals.

  3. Panmure Gordon in relation to the fundraising for Finnish biopharmaceutical company Faron Pharmaceuticals Oy. The team have advised Panmure on Faron Pharmaceuticals Oy's last five placings.

  4. Cantor Fitzgerald Europe in relation to the fundraising for UK renewable energy company, Simec Atlantis Energy Limited. 

These transactions were worked on by members of the capital markets team comprising Clive Hopewell (International Head), Simon Allport (Partner), Nicholas Heap (Legal Director) and Freddie Spearman and Charlotte Hart (Associates).

Full highlights from the last twelve months of the capital markets group can be found here.
