London > Finance > Bank lending: investment grade debt and syndicated loans
The ‘extremely experienced and user-friendly’ team at White & Case LLP has ‘excellent market knowledge’ and versatility across financial products, both from a UK and US law governed perspective, and is consequently a favourite among lenders and borrowers to advise on complex cross-border financings. On the creditor side, in spite of his senior status, Jeremy Duffy ‘gets his hands dirty on every deal he manages’, and outside of his leveraged finance sweet-spot also regularly handles broader global loans work (including corporate lending), increasingly utilising ESG/sustainability-lined metrics. ‘On top of the latest industry trends’, Shane McDonald is also a favourite among lenders, regularly working on large-cap syndicated facilities, both from an acquisition, as well as infrastructure and general corporate lending perspective. Christopher Czarnocki is also a key member of the team by dint of his balanced lender and borrower credentials in the emerging markets space, in particular.
