Mayer Brown
Mayer Brown offers early-stage and emerging companies business-oriented, timely and practical advice, from initial structuring and assistance with their first capital raise, to advice along every step of their growth trajectory, through a successful liquidity opportunity, whether in an IPO, SPAC business combination, or M&A transaction, and beyond.
Our advice is informed by decades of experience working with entrepreneurs, as well as with venture and private equity funds, financial intermediaries, and other investors.
We are especially strong
in certain industries.
We believe that our distinctive strengths in technology, including, in particular, fintech and insurtech, consumer financial services, cybersecurity and data protection, connected, autonomous and electric vehicles, life sciences and healthcare, and certain other tech-enabled industries, differentiate us from our competitors. Our advice reflects a broader view of the business environment in which our growth company clients operate.
Why you should work
with us.
Given the rapidly changing regulatory environment and the ever-increasing pace of technological change, it is more important than ever that legal advisers have regulatory capabilities across industries as well as an in-depth understanding of the markets in which their clients operate. Our industry knowledge is broadly disseminated across key practices.
Growth companies will not outgrow us.
