Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton

We only have limited information for this firm. Consider the following firms which have provided more information:

Acting on its own, as well as frequently alongside practitioners from across the firm’s international network of offices, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton‘s versatile banking and finance group has deep product knowledge, which it deploys to good effect for a borrower-focused client base engaged in often highly complex capital structures. Many of these are large multinational investment grade corporates, including longstanding client Arcelor Mittal, as well as sovereign borrowers. Polina Lyadnova has ’deep market knowledge across many markets’, and although her Russian transactional work has been curtailed following the war in Ukraine, she remains very active in other new money and restructuring-related emerging markets matters. Team head Jim Ho is recognised as a leader in sovereign debt, for both governments and sovereign wealth funds.
