Appleby is adept at both listings on TISE and the issuance of CLOs, advising clients from across the firm’s network on EU-compliant structures. Andrew Weaver oversees the practice, with Jersey managing partner James Gaudin handling structured finance facilities. Paul Worsnop and Tom Vibert are the key contacts for all matters tied to CLOs, while also handling a wide range of structured finance transactions. Simon Felton joined the group from Ogier in June 2023, specialising in advising securities issuers with debt and equity transactions, with Christophe Kalinauckas focusing on bond listings on TISE.
