Our team of DCM lawyers, comprising experienced partners and associates, advises both issuers and managers on complex and innovative DCM transactions in developed and emerging markets. We consistently receive positive feedback from clients praising the team's hands-on approach from partners and ability to provide timely, cost-effective legal advice on a range of transactions across jurisdictions.
We support our issuer and lender clients on a wide range of transactions across the world and understand a balance must be struck between market expectations of mitigating bondholder risk and maintaining attractive terms. Whether standalone issues or in the context of restructuring, acquisition financing, dividend recapitalisation or other commercial transactions, our global team has the insight to add value to any bond offering, whether it be investment grade or high-yield.
Our team also works closely with our leveraged finance, private equity and corporate teams to provide commercially focused advice on complex debt capital markets transactions, often as part of sophisticated financing structuring.
