Delighted to be named as a Star Associate in the latest edition of Chambers and Partners for AIM work. Particularly pleasing were the quotes from clients who were kind enough to say: "Ed consistently provides service of the highest order." "He's a well-rounded professional who provides reliable and practical advice. He is attentive and always pleasant to work with." Looks like I owe a couple of beers or two! It has been a challenging time for UK capital markets recently but, if the recent uptick in deal activity is anything to go by, the future is getting brighter and I look forward to attempting to live up to this feedback on upcoming transactions. #osborneclarke #chambersandpartners #capitalmarkets #aim  

We are pleased to welcome Darren Schluter, PJT Partners, as a speaker on an Expert Webcast Roundtable, Navigating Opportunities in Secondaries on April 16, 2024; 10-11AM PT, 1-2PM ET. RSVP / Info: https://lnkd.in/g2EGV8p7 Darren's co-speakers include: Matthew Heinz, Lockton Damian Jacobs, Kirkland & Ellis Kenneth Blazejewski, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP Moderated by Alex Kasdan, Convergence The secondaries market is expected to maintain strong growth trajectory in 2024, across both the GP- and LP-led transactions, driven in part by continued lack of traditional liquidity, high interest rates, geopolitical uncertainly, the valuation disconnect, and opportunity to diversify and generate significant investor returns. The panel will discuss market opportunities in secondaries, transaction structures, capital availability and mitigation of transactional risk with insurance, as well as address questions from the audience. #secondaries #deals #mergersandacquisitions #privateequity #liquidity #structuredfinance #hedgefunds #distressedassets

Have a hot cup of #coffee or #tea. Lean back in your #chair and have a deep think. What made Rothschild a great name in #finance? The #people. You would be more inclined to #invest if their #advisors were Rothschilds. Would you invest in a Rothschild company if nobody there was a Rothschild? Where the advisors were Jim Stalk, Pierre DeSange, Andrew Black, Mona Lotte...would you have a lesser perception? #People #value #HumanAsset

Bucking the trend of global M&A, deal activity in Ireland remained strong in 2023. The 10 partner M&A team at Philip Lee saw this first hand and we believe 2024 is set to be another positive year for transactions in Ireland. #mergersandacquisitions #privateequity #ireland
