Our Leveraged Finance team advises in relation to both cross-border and domestic transactions often involving many European transactions and the US.  We are recognised as one of the leading mid-market leveraged and acquisition finance practices with a team of 8 partners and over 30 fee-earners operating from key financial centres in Europe and East Asia.

We work together with our award-winning Corporate and Private Equity teams to offer clients - who include investment banks, clearing banks, private equity houses, venture capitalists, trade purchasers, funds and financial intermediaries - quality advice based on market knowledge that we believe few in the mid-market can match.

We frequently advise on financing for leveraged buy-outs (both primary and secondary), public bids, public to privates, trade purchases and recapitalisations.  With leveraged and acquisition financings becoming ever more complex and highly structured, often with increasingly sophisticated inter-creditor arrangements, our team is able to service all requirements in relation to senior, second-lien, mezzanine and PIK debt as well as interim financing arrangements and bridge financing (including in relation to opco/propcos and securitisations).
