Gareth is a Partner in our Corporate & Private Equity team. Gareth’s focus is on private equity, but he works on a broad range of corporate transactions.
Gareth’s specialism is private equity – he advises management teams, private equity sponsors and portfolio companies. He also advises on general M&A, property investment (via corporate vehicles) and capital markets.
Since joining Capital, he has acted on transactions backed by private equity houses such as WestBridge Capital, Averroes Capital, Connection Capital, RJD Partners, APSE Capital and Development Bank of Wales.
Before joining Capital, Gareth spent the best part of a decade in the City of London where he attended law school prior to training and qualifying at City firm, SJ Berwin. Prior to joining Capital, Gareth spent several years at US firm Reed Smith.
I can’t recommend Capital Law enough if you are selling equity in your business. The team led by Gareth Williams-Davies were thoroughly professional and were able to offer a commercially balanced view on all aspects of the transaction. The breadth of skills within Capital Law allowed Gareth to bring in specialist colleagues when required and I could not have been represented better. Gareth’s calm and experienced tone was a great advantage during some of the trickier negotiations and he was a significant factor in completing the transaction.
