Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP

At Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP, Chris Hastings is key to the firm’s success with private equity sponsors seeking financing for acquisitions, primarily within the mid-market. As part of his role as head of the London office’s banking practice, Nick Swiss handles some lender work on acquisition finance and corporate lending transactions. The arrival in July 2023 of private credit expert Ben Davis from Proskauer Rose LLP is a significant hire for the firm in light of the increased importance private capital has in funding mid-market M&A activity.
