European Private Equity Buyouts
We deliver an integrated international legal service through our relationships with our "Best Friends", rather than through a large network of Slaughter and May offices. This means we offer clients global coverage which is not reflected in the league tables. We have produced a combined ranking which gives a more representative picture of the private equity work carried out by Slaughter and May and "Best Friends", based in a total of 11 key jurisdictions in Europe.
