On the lender side, Max Millington has enhanced the practice's credit fund credentials since moving from Osborne Clarke LLP in 2022, while the firm's strong clearing bank relationships ensures that it is well-placed to advise on the super senior and first-out products which are often made available to support acquisition financings alongside unitranche debt.
