About

Provided by Mayer Brown LLP

Many of Mayer Brown's largest clients are bank holding companies, commercial banks, investment banks, insurance companies, leasing companies, asset-based lenders or institutional real estate companies. Our Banking & Finance practice also represents numerous finance companies and fixed income funds, mezzanine investors, hedge funds, financial service boutiques, spin-offs and other financial institutions and investors, as well as a large number of borrowers operating in many different businesses and industries. 

As financial institutions become one-stop shops and transactions increasingly combine a broader range of products, including securitization and derivatives, the number of law firms that can meet all these requirements under one roof is declining. Mayer Brown is one of the few that has both the breadth of offering and the international platform to service these needs—particularly when markets are volatile and deal structures can change overnight. We have extensive experience in numerous areas of banking and finance including:

  • Asset-based Lending​
  • Debt Capital Markets
  • Derivatives & Structured Products
  • Fund Finance
  • High Yield
  • Insurance Finance
  • Leveraged Finance
  • Project Finance
  • Real Estate Finance
  • Securitisation
  • Trade Receivables
