Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner
Less siloed than some of its peers, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner‘s generalist finance offering has an excellent overarching perspective of market trends and debt products, ensuring that it has the flexibility to effectively advise both creditor and debtor clients across a range of leveraged and event-driven financings. Team head Emma Howdle-Fuller regularly advises banking clients on M&A-related financings, while Derek Hrydziuszko is more skewed towards corporate borrower mandates, including for large investment grade entities. Shanan Dunstan’s versatile offering includes a strong and growing presence in the ABL space and she regularly acts on hybrid deals where ABL products sit alongside other debt including term loans.
