Clifford Chance LLP

Drawing upon a ‘detailed understanding of the latest market trends and norms’, Clifford Chance LLP has an ’impressive knowledge of documentation nuances across multiple jurisdictions’. Consequently, it is able to impart this knowledge to a balanced mix of banks and corporates providing or receiving debt financing for working capital, M&A and event financing, and treasury purposes, inter alia. Emma Folds is abreast of developments in the syndicated loans market and is well-positioned to advise both corporates and lenders on general corporate lending and refinancing matters, as well as in relation to acquisition and infrastructure finance mandates. As part of his wide-ranging borrower practice, Nick Kinnersley regularly acts for investment-grade/listed clients on corporate lending and acquisition finance facilities, and is also one of many within the team with excellent credentials in relation to sustainability-linked financings. David Robson heads the team and excels at advising banks on big-ticket event-driven and public bid financings. 'Excellent negotiator' Peter Dahlen, who co-heads the global leveraged finance team, and Matt Dunn are also recommended.
