Mayer Brown International LLP
Combining ‘a client-centric approach with a “can do” mentality’ that leans into a versatile finance offering, Mayer Brown International LLP is a popular choice among international banks to structure sophisticated cross-border finance mandates, often involving complex inter-creditor arrangements. The ’amazing’ Ash McDermott often takes the lead on complex cross-border syndicated loans and is noted for his ‘very professional and pragmatic approach’, including on transactions within the emerging markets. Trevor Borthwick is also recommended and has vast experience advising creditors and debtors on new money corporate lending transactions, as well as in a restructuring/distressed scenario. Alex Dell , who heads the overarching global banking and finance team, regularly advises lending syndicates on complex international transactions where ABL products account for a significant proportion of the debt.
