We only have limited information for this firm. Consider the following firms which have provided more information:
Ashurst's securitisation practice is one of the newer market entrants but has gained traction over the last five years, notably in innovative warehouse transactions and public transactions in a range of asset classes and structures, including master trusts, trade receivables, fintech securitisations, CMBS, Islamic structures and bespoke derivatives. Among clients, the firm is known for 'lots of partner involvement, and a very commercial approach in a complex area of law'. The 'absolutely excellent' Thomas Picton leads the practice following the retirement of veteran partner and industry stalwart Jonathan Walsh. He recently acted for specialist bridging lender Glenhawk Financial Services, UK Specialist Lending to secure a £200m in funding line with NatWest Markets through a private securitisation. Counsel Zena Kukreja leads the firm's ESG activity in the securitisation space, which includes work on innovative transactions under the ICMA Sustainability Framework. Senior associate Theodoros Kotsiras is also recommended.
