Equity capital markets and public company advice for technology businesses

As an AIM Listed business – Gateley (Holdings) Plc listed in 2015, the first commercial law firm in the UK to do so – we understand the challenges and regulatory responsibilities that listed businesses need to navigate.

We have substantial experience of advising corporates and advisers on initial public offerings, entitlement offers, equity subscriptions, rights issues, private placements, block trades and buy-backs.

Clients include companies from the UK, mainland Europe, North America and Asia across a variety of industry sectors. This breadth of expertise helps us better understand and communicate the issues arising on a flotation to provide a tailored service to our clients. The team’s extensive relationships within the advisory community in the City of London assist in the smooth delivery of our service. Our clients are on both the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and on AIM. We have more AIM experience than most national and regional law firms.

It’s never too early to start thinking about an IPO. In fact, the earlier the better. Our equity capital markets team can add value even before an IPO process has started and are experts in identifying and remedying issues that would otherwise cause roadblocks along the way. For tech companies already publicly listed, our team are experts in ensuring compliance with the regulatory landscape for listed companies, including in relation to raising further capital or advising on continuing obligations under applicable rules.
