Hi Jaysen,

Could you provide some advice on the role of a lawyer in restructuring, M&A and finance deals? As well as the documents that might be produced? For example, I've heard that for IPOs, a prospectus would have to be issued, but would this be the responsibility of lawyers to draft, or would investment bankers have a say in them as well?

Furthermore, could you provide some general advice on the applying commercial awareness to a law firm's clients? For example when it comes to Brexit, are there general ways law firms would help their clients face the uncertainties apart from amending client contracts?

Thanks!
