Welcome to Merlin

Merlin provides informed, incisive and effective advice to business leaders around the world, addressing the challenges of financial reporting, mergers and acquisitions, fundraisings, corporate governance and strategic issues in the global capital markets. Clients also rely on us for strategic counsel on dealing with the communications requirements of crises, litigation, disputes, restructurings, employment and social responsibility matters.

Our advisory teams combine individuals with deep professional experience of investment banking, the law, accountancy, print journalism, broadcast media, as well as from financial public relations backgrounds.

We have accumulated experience of advising on some $200 billion worth of M&A and 30 or so Initial Public Offerings, operating in a wide range of financial markets and jurisdictions, including the London Stock Exchange, NYSE Euronext, NASDAQ, Deutsche Börse, and Russia's MICEX. We act for global corporations including FTSE100, FTSE250, MDAX and CAC40 companies through to fast-growth small and mid-cap businesses and investment funds. Merlin has advised on several of the world’s largest IPO’s and corporate fund raisings of recent years, including the London Stock Exchange IPO of Evraz Group (Russia’s largest steel and mining group), and the NYSE IPO of MF Global which was successfully demerged from Man Group in 2007.

Our purpose is to assist clients in growing and protecting their shareholder and corporate brand values, through providing the best advice and excellence of implementation. Our commitment to them is total.
