Recent global economic and geopolitical trends have dramatically altered the way that many borrowers, sponsors and advisors structure acquisition and leveraged finance solutions. The relative favourability of funding options, including syndicated loans, high-yield bonds and direct lending will continue to change over time across industries and jurisdictions as market conditions evolve. Market participants need expert legal advice to assess both public and new private market options in order to secure the best financing solution for their deal. With many deals involving both domestic and international stakeholders, it is crucial that your lawyers also have the experience to navigate significant cross-border complexity across the full spectrum of financial products.
Our multidisciplinary team has the depth and breadth of expertise to lead complex acquisition and leveraged finance transactions across the full range of evolving financial products. We combine expertise from our finance, high-yield, private equity, mergers and acquisitions, restructuring, tax and other specialist teams to anticipate deal challenges and deliver integrated solutions that maximize transaction value. With an established presence in key financial centers and more countries of relevance than any other law firm, we combine global experience with local knowledge to close complex, cross-border deals. We are at the forefront of helping our clients capture value from new funding solutions as they develop, both in the more established markets for US/UK loan and bond products, more localized financial solutions and in other developing private credit markets across the globe.
We represent the world's leading banks, sponsors, corporations, alternative lenders and debt investors in connection with the financing of mergers, equity or asset acquisitions, leveraged buyouts and recapitalizations, restructurings and other similar transactions. Our commercial approach and expert knowledge of syndicated term loans, direct lending products and high-yield bonds, as well as sustainability-linked financing options and hedging arrangements, enables us to provide a comprehensive service.
