The corporate team at Barlow Robbins LLP has built up a substantial reputation over the past 10-15 years for its work in the field of mergers and acquisitions, IPOs, AIM and OFEX listings, corporate restructuring and private equity funding. In this respect Barlow Robbins offers a real alternative to City firms with City style expertise delivered – but at a lower cost.
The proximity of our offices to London and other major regional centres and the easy access to good road and rail connections means that we can easily be in London or elsewhere for meetings.
