Haynes Boone has been recognized as the No. 1 U.S. law firm by number of AIM-listed clients in July’s AIM Advisers Rankings Guide, underscoring the firm’s market-leading position among U.S. firms in London. Haynes Boone also earned No. 1 rankings by sector, including:
- Basic Materials
- Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples
- Energy
- Technology
Among law firms across the world advising AIM-listed companies, Haynes Boone strengthened its position and achieved the following rankings:
- Tied for ninth overall by number of AIM clients
- Tied for fifth overall by number of FTSE AIM 100 clients
- Tied for 10th by number of FTSE AIM UK 50 clients, marking the firm's debut in the category
- Joint second in the Energy client rankings
“We’re honored to be recognized as the leading U.S. law firm for AIM-listed companies,” said London Office Managing Partner Nick Davis. “These results reflect the continued growth of our international capital markets practice and the trust clients place in our team to navigate complex cross-border transactions and public company matters.”
The rankings follow a standout period for Haynes Boone’s London Capital Markets team, which advised on several significant AIM transactions, including Rift Helium’s £8.1 million AIM IPO and fundraising, Talon Resources PLC’s cross-border mining acquisition, fundraising and AIM admission, and three U.K. equity fundraisings completed in a single week.
The recognition also comes as the London Stock Exchange considers proposed reforms to the AIM Rules. In June, Partners Nick Davis, Robert Bines-Black and Nick Heap, along with Trainee Solicitor Ziv Gould, published a client alert examining the proposed changes and their implications for companies, founders and advisers.
