At Fieldfisher, 'the individuals generally stand out by the high quality of their work and strong commitment to clients'. Head of financial markets and products Guy Usher oversees the work of Alex Campbell's bond issuer team, which is heavily involved in a LIBOR remediation project that involves more than 40 legacy public securitisations.

Peter Knust leads on corporate trust matters, while Stephen Moller acts mainly for originators and specialised lenders. Asset-based financings specialist Dougall Molson and newly hired derivatives specialist Sebastian Reger from Travers Smith LLP also play key roles in the team.

Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Very strong commercial acumen that stretches far beyond the base legal service. Close integration between internal disciplines leads to a seamless client experience.’
‘Stephen Moller, a senior partner in the firm, is exceptional. His ability to deal with highly complex issues and provide a variety of solutions is unparalleled. Having worked with all manner of firms inside the Magic Circle and beyond, I have yet to find a lawyer of the calibre of Mr Moller.’
‘The team is very responsive and on top of the securitisation transaction. They are very competitive in terms of pricing with good quality of work advising the trustee role. The technical knowledge is solid and commercially sound to resolve legal issues very efficiently.’
‘Peter Knust as partner and Yannis Erifillidis as of counsel are very good at advising the trustee role, they know what the trustee looks for and think steps ahead to minimise multiple rounds of exchange of comments. They are technically strong in securitisation and new updates of the industry, they bring new knowledge to trustee practice that's highly appreciated. The quality of work and responsiveness make them stand out from the competitors.’
‘Fieldfisher is very efficient in delivering high-quality legal services thanks to its exceptional team.’
