McCarthy Denning expands its corporate team with a new partner hire

City law firm McCarthy Denning has appointed Nigel Stacey as a partner in its corporate team. Formerly a partner at both Ashurst and Gibson Dunn, Nigel has more than 25 years' experience advising clients on mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

Nigel’s practice covers a wide range of M&A transactions, including stock exchange matters and equity capital markets, as well as public takeovers, where Nigel has extensive experience in competitive and hostile situations. He was co-chair of cross border M&A and co-chair of public M&A at one of his pervious firm, and he is one of the leading City lawyers for cross-border M&A transactions and UK takeovers.

From advising on multi-billion-pound deals through to a wide range of initial public offerings, Nigel has developed a wide scope of experience within the corporate and M&A sectors. Nigel is highly valued for providing commercial, pragmatic and sound business advice.

Led by Richard Beresford, McCarthy Denning’s corporate team includes partners with a wealth of international practices and credentials. Nigel will play a significant role in developing the team’s M&A offering.

Warren Wooldridge, co-founder and CEO of McCarthy Denning, said: ‘Nigel is a widely respected M&A lawyer and will be a valuable addition to our corporate team. His nuanced understanding of what it takes to achieve clients’ needs in the world of M&A is second to none. This appointment once again demonstrates McCarthy Denning’s commitment to recruiting experienced, senior lawyers who are experts in their fields.’

Commenting on his appointment, Nigel said: ‘McCarthy Denning has an impressive roster of leading corporate lawyers, who are unrivalled in terms of experience and knowledge in the City. I am excited to be working amongst a team of great pedigree lawyers whilst contributing to the firm’s growing corporate practice.’
