The DCM practice at Simmons & Simmons is 'invariably constructive, collaborative and professional with a tendency to over-deliver', according to one client. Another remarks that 'all the team members are focused on providing commercial solutions within a workable legal framework rather than restricting themselves to the law and leaving the client to work the problem out.’ Piers Summerfield and his team advise issuers, investment banks and institutional investors on convertible bonds, ECP and EMTN programmes, Islamic financing, liability management and bond restructurings, as well as straight debt. Summerfield and supervising associate Victoria So advised LendInvest Plc on setting up a new retail-eligible EMTN programme, and an exchange offer for existing bonds.
