The ‘highly technical, client focused and professional’ team at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP has strong overarching capital markets capabilities, ensuring that it is fairly active for issuers and underwriters on Greater China-related DCM matters. Edward Lam is at the forefront of much of this work, utilising his US qualifications to good effect in connection with SEC-registered and Rule 144A/Regulation S debt offerings. On the high yield front, although new money transactions have been impacted by wider market travails, Lam has also been active in relation to handling liability management exercises (including exchange offers) for real estate issuers. Corporate head Jonathan Stone also handles some high yield and investment grade offerings, including SEC-registered offerings and Rule 144A and Regulation S transactions.
