McDermott Will & Emery UK LLP provides 'solutions-oriented advice' to a lender-focused client base across a range of new money and refinancing cross-border transactions. While much of this relates to private credit in the leveraged space, under the leadership of Aymen Mahmoud the team has also developed some commercial/investment bank ties. The arrival in June 2024 of Christopher Kandel from Morrison Foerster is a major boost for the team in light of his borrower and lender-side credentials and involvement in many large-cap syndicated finance transactions during his career.
