Worldwide Leadership

Sullivan & Cromwell’s 12 offices worldwide encompass the world’s most important financial markets. With established practices in EU, English, French, and German law, Sullivan & Cromwell is one of the most experienced and efficient firms for international offerings and capital markets work for non-U.S. issuers.

Our Firm represents issuers, underwriters, selling and controlling shareholders and other market participants from all over the world. Most of the offerings for non-U.S. issuers on which the Firm advises include sales of securities into the U.S. markets—but the non-U.S. tranche often constitutes the major portion and drives the structure of a large number of the transactions on which we work. A significant proportion of our deals includes no U.S. offering at all. In the EU, for example, the new rules under the Prospectus Directive are a principal basis for our work in the majority of the transactions on which we are now engaged.

Additional information on securities offerings by non-U.S. issuers can be found in the sections on each of our non-U.S. offices, and also in the securities secton of the following regions:

Asia: Securities
Australia/New Zealand: Securities
Canada: Securities
