Although much of Hogan Lovells International LLP‘s lending work is for credit funds in the lucrative mid-market leveraged finance space, it still maintains strong broader bank relationships, regularly advising them on syndicated lending new money and refinancing transactions. Much of this work relates to lending to highly regulated businesses, including pensions and insurance companies, where the firm displays an ’excellent balance of technical knowledge and commerciality’. Penny Angell remains pivotal to the firm’s success in the space and is noted for her ‘ability to propose solutions to complex problems on short turnaround’. Paul Mullen heads the banking and finance practice globally from London. Matthew Cottis recently retired.
