If you’re operating in securitization and structured finance products, you’ll know that big changes to both regulation and practice are making these markets ever more complex.
That’s why you need legal support that does more than just take care of the paperwork.
From working with our clients on many types of securitization and structured financing deals over the years - and other transactions, regulatory or M&A work - we know the market as intimately as we know the finer points of law. We bring experience from all sides of the deal table to give you the rounded insights you need - we’ll tell you in advance which ideas will and won’t work, and how the other side is likely to react.
We’ve made it our business to understand how you function: from finding, originating and marketing assets, to the back-end financing of those assets. From our first meeting we’ll guide you on the issues you could run into with your financing efforts: for our securitization and financing lawyers, it’s all about understanding how your business operates and thrives. Whatever your size, we see it as our role to be involved in the evolution of your business, as you grow and find new markets.
We also have experienced global colleagues in our other practice areas, such as tax, derivatives and regulation, who work closely with our Structured Finance team to ensure that all legal, regulatory, and tax implications of your transaction are considered and seamlessly integrated, even when working across jurisdictions.
