Mark Ellis trained with Burness, and returned as a partner in the firm's corporate finance unit after having spent time working in the City of London with Hogan Lovells and Travers Smith.  Mark advises on a broad range of corporate transactions, with a particular focus on private equity, venture capital, and corporate restructuring.
