Sarah is a partner in the corporate team. She advises on acquisitions and disposals, IPO�s, secondary fundraisings, public company takeovers, joint ventures, shareholders and LLP members� agreements, share buy backs and the rules and regulations governing both private and public companies.

My Background
I trained at Davis Blank Furniss in Manchester between 1996 and 1998 and took up a newly qualified position at Halliwells in Manchester in September 1998. I moved to Eversheds in Birmingham in April 2001 and joined Bevan Brittan LLP as a partner in April 2007.

What I do
I act for both companies and financial advisers on IPO's and secondary fundraisings (Official List, AIM and other markets).

I advise public companies on their governing regulations including the rules of the UK Listing Authority, the AIM Rules, the Prospectus Rules, FSMA, the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers and general company related legislation.

I act on City Code regulated transactions (takeovers) and have experience of acting for both bidder and target and in recommended and hostile bid situations.

I draw up shareholders, partnership and LLP agreements and can advise companies, partnerships and LLP�s generally on setting up and regulating their affairs.

I advise on acquisitions and disposals of shares and assets and have a great deal of experience of running and closing multi-jurisdictional M&A transactions and/or joint ventures and in particular project managing large transactions involving a number of different jurisdictions. I have been involved in a substantial amount of transactions in different European jurisdictions but have also acted on transactions involving assets or clients in the USA and Africa.

Some examples
I acted for Arden Partners plc in July 2006 (themselves a financial adviser) on their own IPO when they undertook a placing of shares and had their shares admitted to trading on AIM.

I have acted for the international company Iron Mountain Europe Limited on a number of European joint ventures and UK and European acquisitions.

I recently acted for one of the first companies to go through the admissions process to effect an IPO on Investbx, a West Midlands based trading platform for SME�s.

I recently acted for WH Ireland Limited in their role as nominated adviser and broker on the reverse takeover of AIM company India Outsourcing Services plc.

I recently acted for the AIM company International Marketing & Sales Group Limited on its recommended offer for the Swedish company ONE Media Holding (publ) AB, itself listed on one of the Swedish markets.
