Carey Olsen

Carey Olsen‘s practice spans both DCM work, including high yield bond issuances, securitisation work, and ECM work such as listings advice and assistance with redomiciliations. Leadership of the team is split between Simon Marks, who was named co-managing partner in July 2024 and whose practice encompasses bond issuances and structured finance transactions, and Guy Coltman, who assists with listings in both the UK and US. Kate Andrews acts for clients looking to issue bonds while also assisting on acquisition and fund financing matters. Matthew Ecobichon advises on transactions concerning TISE-listed securities, with Ashley Morrison acting on bond issuances and securitisation structures linked to credit card lenders.
