Jonathan Angell

I am a corporate partner, based in our London office, supporting clients across the full spectrum of their corporate, M&A and transactional activities. I have particular experience in the financial services/asset management sector (including insurance and other regulated businesses) as well as in private equity/venture capital.

I work with a broad range of clients including: corporate entities (public and private), partnerships and LLPs; private equity firms, alternative asset managers, investment firms, family offices, finance providers (equity and debt) and other strategic/institutional investors; entrepreneurs, founders and management teams on corporate matters across a wide variety of sectors and industries.

With more than 30 years' experience, I am a trusted adviser for clients on matters which are of the utmost importance to them, whatever the monetary value, providing strategic, commercial and practical advice and enabling them to close their transactions in a timely manner. That breadth and depth of experience also means that I am called on to represent clients on particularly complex transactions, often with a significant cross-border element.

My practice encompasses mergers and acquisitions; joint ventures; private equity, including venture/development capital and co-investments; reorganisations; corporate governance; and other general corporate advice.
