Acting for funds and banks alike, Gowling WLG's team is made up of 'real specialists' across the spectrum of issues affecting listed funds, including new listings, secondary raises and M&A in the sector. Nick Heather continues to spearhead the firm's efforts, with experience overseeing listings on the Main Market and AIM on behalf of funds, banks and brokers. John Reed is a key contact for fund structuring and mergers, while Oliver Riley advises across the lifecycle of funds, from structuring to IPOs and secondary fundraising, focusing in particular on real assets. Kristian Rogers is equally adept at supporting LSE listings as he is TISE and Euronext, with Kate Seabourne-Pugh acting for funds and brokers in relation to equity raises and regulatory issues.
