WHAT WE DO

We advise clients on the structuring, negotiation, implementation and execution of debt financing and capital solutions transactions through complex financing structures, both domestic and cross-border, with extensive experience in lending, structured finance, NPLs/UTPs, restructuring and turnaround.

The team’s expertise covers a broad range of financing transactions, including real estate finance, corporate lending, acquisition finance, leveraged finance, project finance and shipping finance, as well as investment grade financing, working capital facilities, syndicated and asset-based financing, sustainability-linked loans and green loans. These are complemented by typical private capital transactions, with a particular focus on private debt, direct lending, unitranche financing, mezzanine financing, preferred equity and hybrid debt-equity financing structures.

Our practice also covers structured finance transactions, acquisition and disposal of receivables, credit portfolios and single-name exposures, as well as securitisation transactions involving a broad range of asset classes - including NPLs and UTPs - together with real estate securitisation and bond issuances.

The team also has extensive experience advising on legal matters relating to corporate distress and restructuring, turnaround transactions and special situations.

Drawing on the synergies with the other practice areas of the Firm and our established relationships with leading international law firms active in the banking and finance sector, we provide integrated advice across all legal aspects of even the most complex and innovative transactions. 


Our assistance covers all stages of a transaction, from structuring and negotiating the relevant documentation through to the closing and the subsequent management of the financing arrangements, acting for both lenders and borrowers.
