Dentons has ' friendly team that is always available to discuss and problem solve', and clients note that the firm provides 'strong technical ability, and high partner visibility and supervision'. Practice head David Cohen and standout partner Nick Hayday continue to build the DCM team, notably with the hire of 'first-rate partner' Neil Dixon from Linklaters LLP at the end of 2022. Together, they advise on the full range of DCM products, hence the firm's promotion in the ranking, though it has particular strength in niches such as sovereign debt, regulatory capital trades, and equity-linked bonds. Hayday, who 'instils confidence in clients', and newly promoted partner Victoria Wyer acted for Republic of Lithuania in the updates of its issuance programme as well as a combined offering of €1.8bn in bonds. Cohen handled an issuer substitution for €300m in outstanding bonds of G City Europe Limited, and advised Haitong Bank on its offering of €230m in floating rate bonds. Cameron Half, who leads the US Securities practice in EMEA, and trustee and agency specialist Catriona ’Kitty’ Lloyd also play pivotal roles in the practice.
