Financial institutions regularly instruct Dentons to handle securitisation transactions across a variety of asset classes, including the securitisation of loans, leasing and trade receivables, and even inflation-indexed leaseholds. Recently, practice head Arne Klüwer led several matters on supply chain finance and ABCP programs, while he was also tasked with restructuring distressed transactions; here, the group particularly focused on the infrastructure and energy sectors, while the real estate industry represents another regular interface.
