Corporate finance

Whether you are a tech startup looking for seed funding, a growing company ready for an IPO, a new owner considering a management buyout or a multi-national looking to cut down on your tax bill, we have the financial experience to find a solution.

Our decades of work with successful families and individuals give us an advantage over other firms when it comes to securing sources of investment for corporate clients. We’re able to connect investors with the opportunities they’re most interested in, creating value for both sides of the transaction.

‘Wealthy people don’t want to sit on their money. They’re looking for investment opportunities,’ explains Ridgway Barker, a US partner focusing on corporate finance and securities law. ‘Being able to showcase opportunities that we come across on the corporate side to the capital base is beneficial to both.’

Withers also understands that financing is only one part of an interlocking series of decisions companies must make and knows how to advise at each stage. When an Italian manufacturer wanted to invest in an electronics-recycling plant, we obtained the money to do so from a combination of private investment funds and a public grant from the Italian National Agency. We also helped the company obtain local and regional planning permissions and draft the employment contracts associated with the project.
