Ben is a partner in Seddons’ Corporate Department and specialises in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), joint ventures, share/equity investments in private companies, group reorganisations and general company and corporate governance advice.
Ben qualified into the private equity team of an international law firm in 1998 and has been supporting clients on their acquisition, disposals, joint ventures and equity investments ever since, becoming a corporate partner in 2009. Typical deal values range from £5 million to £250 million but Ben has also assisted clients on significantly larger transactions.
Clients appreciate Ben’s hands on approach to negotiation and drafting, his quick turn around and his ability to focus on what is important and provide real perspective, derived from over 25 years of deal experience, more than 15 years as a corporate partner.
Ben particularly enjoys working with founders on their company disposals where Ben can assist clients in navigating the various pitfalls, and act as a counterweight to the often larger corporate buyer, and its experienced M&A legal team.
Ben does a great deal of international joint venture work, where Ben’s tact and foresight can assist clients in getting projects over the line. Many of the deals Ben has worked on have an international dimension, which plays to Ben’s strength in part derived from having spent thirteen years working as a corporate M&A lawyer in the Middle East.
