We know the leveraged finance market inside out. From our London base, we advise direct lending funds, private equity sponsors, banks and corporate borrowers on the full range of financing transactions — including domestic and cross-border leveraged acquisitions, refinancings, recapitalisations, MBOs and MBIs, as well as complex restructurings and distressed M&A.
Our team acts for both lenders and borrowers, giving us a balanced perspective and a deep understanding of the commercial drivers that shape every deal. We combine technical excellence with practical execution capability, supporting clients through all stages of the transaction lifecycle.
London is a major hub for the firm’s global finance practice and home to many of our key client relationships. Working seamlessly with colleagues across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the US, we deliver efficient, coordinated advice on multi-jurisdictional financings.
We are particularly active in the financial services, business services, TMT, healthcare, industrials and energy sectors, regularly advising on large-scale and portfolio financings. Whatever the transaction, we assemble a bespoke team of finance, corporate, tax and restructuring specialists to deliver solutions that are commercially focused, responsive and aligned with our clients’ strategic goals
