Ross Anderson > Paul Hastings LLP > London, England > Lawyer Profile

Despite recently losing rainmaking banking lawyer Luke McDougall to Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP in May 2024, the ‘very knowledgeable’ team at Paul Hastings LLP still has the critical mass and expertise to handle a tremendous volume and range of mandates in the market for a lender-focused client base, having built up its loans and capital markets offering over the last two years with some marquee hires. Now led by ‘very smooth operators’ Ross Anderson and Mohamed Nurmohamed, the team maintains a stellar client list of leading banks which are appreciative of its ability to provide ‘commercial and well-balanced advice’ on jumbo deals, through its experience of English and New York law products and ability to work on widely syndicated TLBs, high-yield bond mandates and unitranche solutions. In addition, the team is abreast of the flourishing private credit market, with the ‘excellent’ Karan Chopra particularly noted for his work in the space. Reena Gogna joined the team in August 2024 from Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, bringing her expertise in debt restructurings and senior debt financings.
