Hogan Lovells International LLP

Hogan Lovells International LLP's DCM team is part of the finance practice and particularly impresses with expertise in advising national and international banks, although it also acts for companies; the practice assists with bond issues and their restructuring, the updating of debt issuance programs and on issuances within the framework of these programs. These are often related to green bonds and are led by Jochen Seitz, while Sina Hekmat, who divides her time between Frankfurt and New York, is an expert for US-related matters. For instructions in a restructuring context, clients routinely draw on Julian Fischer's expertise; most recently, he also handled regulatory issues arising from financing platform set ups. The team is led by Sven Brandt (DCM, structured finance and securitisation, derivatives).
