About The Team

The Capital Markets, Accounting Advisory and Structuring (CMAS) team advises clients on accounting, company law and capital markets matters across both transactions (including M&A, listings, and debt raises) and business‑as‑usual scenarios (including finance transformation, accounting and regulatory change, and internal restructures). Our multidisciplinary team brings deep technical expertise and broad market experience across a wide range of industries.
