Morrison Foerster
Morrison Foerster is well-positioned to advise lenders and investment grade corporates raising or providing finance to facilitate cross-border transactions. The firm’s flexibility throughout the capital structure is a strong selling point, as is its ability to advise on UK and US-governed debt products, including TLB loans and New York-law governed high yield debt. The ‘exceptional’ John Burge regularly advises on event-driven financings and general corporate lending matters, and is also the main contact handling growth company debt finance matters from London. Christopher Kandel left to join McDermott Will & Emery UK LLP in May 2024.
