Accessing Capital Markets

Our Capital Markets group provides support at every stage of the listing process. We provide services either as an advisor to management and owners, or as an independent auditor responsible for providing opinions and verifying financial information in the prospectus.

We have been involved in equity and debt offerings for a wide range of Russian companies. As part of this involvement, we work in teams that include investment banks, law firms, auditors, financial advisors and other parties involved in the listing process. We believe this close cooperation with the company and other consultants is essential for a successful IPO.

We have broad, in-depth knowledge of standard global practices for public offerings and capital market operations.

Our global network of advisors enables us to continually analyse developments and trends in markets across the world, and we take advantage of this ability in the interests of our local clients. We do not apply universal solutions, but instead take an individual approach to each situation.

Choosing the right stock exchange

Choosing the most appropriate market may not be a straightforward decision. Companies should consider the pros and cons of each market and how each could meet their overall needs.

IPO diagnostic

Going public can bring numerous benefits to your company. However, before you start to prepare for an initial public offering (IPO), you should consider your strategic objectives.

Life as a public company

The life of a public company is different from that of a private one. The key element of market regulation is the information provided to investors – for example, the frequency with which the companies report and the information they provide on matters such as major shareholdings.

Raising capital in the debt markets

Our Capital Markets group advises companies on raising debt in the European and US and Russian markets. We offer tailored advice to a broad range of businesses, from smaller, entrepreneurial companies to sophisticated national or multinational companies that regularly borrow money on international capital markets.
