(Leading partners)Latham & Watkins LLP regularly applies its expertise in German and US law in high-yield bonds matters – particularly in the real estate sector; this is considered a particular strength of the team and frequently leads to instructions relating to the set-up of high-yield products. Here, the group primarily acts on the issuer side, but is also instructed by banks. Recent market conditions further contributed to an increasing number of restructuring-related instructions, while sustainable financing, including green bonds and sustainability-linked bonds, also frequently increase the workload. Dedicated to this range of topics, both Alexander Lentz and practice head Rüdiger Malaun focus on high-yield bonds, but are also adept at assisting with investment-grade bonds. Jan Penselin (high-yield, cross-over bonds, liability management transactions) made partner in January 2023.
