High profile. High interest. Cutting edge. Building a high-street giant Helping to create a major new force on the UK high street isn’t something you do every day. When technology retail giants Carphone Warehouse and Dixons joined forces, we worked closely with Carphone’s in-house team to make sure the £3.6bn deal went through without a hitch. Keeping their heads ringin’ Steve Wilson, who heads OC’s New York office, advises long-standing client Beats , which was established by Forbes Hip-Hop rich-list-topping rapper, Dr. Dre. The Lawyer recently reported the general counsel of Beats by Dre, as saying that OC is “the only one firm I’ve hired flat out”. Self-raising offers When upmarket cake emporium Patisserie Valerie decided to float on the AIM market, OC was called in to offer legal advice. With a final value of £170m, the IPO was seen as a huge success – giving new credibility to our Friday cake trolley. Naked ambition We helped to create a stunning new vintage when we advised the UK’s largest specialist wine retailer, Majestic Wine , on its £70m acquisition of international online wine business Naked Wines. We’ve got the fever It was bubbly all round when we advised the world’s leading supplier of premium carbonated mixers, Fever-Tree , on its successful £154m AIM IPO. As our Head of Equity Capital Markets, Jonathan King, said at the time: “Fever-Tree is a great brand with a fantastic story, echoed by the strong interest shown from new investors despite extremely challenging market conditions. We look forward to sharing a well-deserved G&T with management shortly!” New frontiers OC advise leading energy companies on major projects such as our advice to RWE on their development of the Triton Knoll offshore wind farm. We also advise funders and developers of pioneering new forms of energy generation such as our advice to InfraRed on their funding for the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon project.
