Finance & Capital Markets (International & Cross-Border)

Long-term, concerted international expansion from its US base has enabled the firm to become one of the most globally recognised brands in numerous areas of international law. Cleary's broad office network incorporates established teams stationed across key financial and political centres in the USA, Europe, South-East Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. Providing cross-border expertise across transactional, regulatory and contentious areas, it gathers wide acclaim for its role leading significant transatlantic mandates, often through close coordination between its US base and deeply entrenched European teams, notably in the UK and France.

The UK team offers high-end expertise in areas of capital markets and finance, with the ability to run global transactions. The London teams demonstrate a proficiency in high-value issuances of debt and equity and are well recognised for cooperating effectively with US colleagues on large transatlantic dual listings. A key hub in the firm’s global transactional platform, the UK office regularly acts on substantial cross-border banking and finance matters, and it attracts consistent recognition for its work advising nation-states and international organisations.
