The trainer is a UK corporate finance adviser with extensive experience in UK equity market regulation. After a City career advising major European companies, he has spent over a decade delivering corporate finance training on takeovers, London listings, and UK market rules, while also providing independent advisory support to clients and professional firms.
After graduating in modern languages from Downing College, Cambridge, our advanced takeover code training specialist qualified as a chartered accountant with Price Waterhouse. Moving forward, he spent three and a half years working at S. G. Warburg. His role included advising on a wide range of corporate finance transactions before joining Paribas in London. He would remain for 14 years, becoming a director and head of cross-border corporate finance. Following this, he spent two years in the London office of Mazars, where he was a partner in charge of international corporate finance.
Whilst working in the city, our trainer gained extensive corporate finance experience and worked with corporate clients from many countries, in particular from the UK and France. Fluent in French, he spent two years working in the head office of Paribas Paris. He has advised on a wide range of complex UK transactions, both medium-sized and large, including public takeovers, restructurings, privatisations, private acquisitions and sales, listings and equity and equity-linked issues.
Over the last decade, he has produced and delivered numerous corporate finance training courses, specialising in the development of the advanced Takeover Code and takeover tactics, and stock market regulation for companies quoted in the UK, including the Listing Rules, the Disclosure and Transparency Rules and the Prospectus Rules.
