Raising capital


Despite fluctuations in financial markets, cross-border capital flows remain a vital part of the capital markets. At Baker & McKenzie, we offer broad resources and reach to help plan and execute viable, innovative capital structures anywhere in the world. Our more than 300 securities lawyers work collaboratively across 67 jurisdictions — enabling us to quickly bring the right talent to every issue and provide sound legal and business advice on high-stakes corporate fundraising transactions.

We regularly advise investment banks, issuers, shareholders, governments and some of the largest public and emerging private companies in a wide variety of capital markets transactions including debt, equity and equity-linked issues, and in complex, multijurisdictional acquisitions and divestitures involving public companies. We have assisted some of the largest companies across a wide range of industries in landmark offerings, and can tailor practical solutions in complex and unprecedented transactions. We integrate with client project teams seamlessly to help them pursue funding opportunities.
