Ben’s expertise covers all types of corporate work, in particular private equity and mainstream mergers and acquisitions (both domestically and internationally). On the corporate side, Ben’s clients range from owner-managers to PLCs. On the private equity side, Ben covers all transactional aspects ranging from advising private equity houses/sponsors and their portfolio companies to advising management teams and/or the shareholders of target companies.
“We needed Ben and his team to quickly understand, digest and explain some complex agreements to help us make some informed decisions. We were impressed by Ben’s commercial acumen and judgement about what really mattered on a commercial level. What made the challenge particularly interesting is we sit on the other side of the world and in a different legal jurisdiction. Ben and the Squire Patton Boggs team really went the extra mile under time pressure to get us a great outcome. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.” Ben Russell, CEO of Argenta, in relation to the management buyout of Argenta backed by KKR
