Davis Polk & Wardwell has one of the largest contingents of U.S.-trained lawyers in Europe, with approximately 48 corporate and tax lawyers assigned to our London, Paris and Madrid offices.
We advise European industrial corporations, technology companies, financial institutions and governments on all areas of finance and business and have been involved in several of the largest recent securities offerings and M&A transactions in Europe. We have broad experience in international finance, particularly European cross-border finance. Our lawyers identify and address problems presented both by new types of corporate financings and by transactions involving conflicting regulatory regimes. We provide cost-efficient, effective advice and representation in all areas important in today's international financial environment – from relatively straightforward issuances of equities or debt in the United States to complex global offerings or mergers.
