Structured Finance and Securitisation

Our global team of dedicated structured finance experts deliver a totally integrated practice to clients across the UK, continental Europe, central and eastern Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas. 

The team advises on every type of structured finance transaction, including asset-based finance, auto-ABS, RMBS, CMBS and equity release mortgages, covered bonds, receivables (including across traditional assets such as trade receivables, credit card receivables, and new emerging receivables assets), hybrid project finance, loan portfolio sales and related financings, private credit, esoteric assets and project bonds. 

We regularly advise on innovative and landmark structured finance transactions. Clients turn to us for their most complex, often market-first transactions, and for our ability to bring together deep expertise across all financing products, providing a one stop shop for loans, securitisation, derivatives, repurchase transactions and more, combined with a deep knowledge of the regulatory framework underpinning each of our product and asset types. 

We are leaders in the European non-performing loan (NPL) market, having advised on landmark NPL acquisitions, sales and securitisations across Europe. 

We act on the majority of regulated covered bond programmes in the UK and have pioneered the establishment of the first covered bond programmes in a number of jurisdictions and in several instances, worked with the issuers and regulators to develop effective covered bond legislation. 

We are also one of the premier law firms in the whole business securitisation (WBS) market, advising significant players in the UK utilities sector and across Europe on structured corporate/ring-fenced rated financings.
