Addleshaw Goddard ‘provides exceptional support on complex transactions’. Its growing practice is based around the vast experience of practice head Rachel Kelly, who has attracted bigger and more complex transactions to the firm in the last three years. Zoe Connor is a highly experienced specialty and alternative finance lawyer whose recent workload encompasses forward flow arrangements and ESG-related joint offerings. Carl Posern, who handles funding for fintech lenders, structured ground rent financings and significant risk transfer transactions (SRTs), and Taymour Keen, who is ‘down to earth and respected by colleagues and counterparties’, also play key roles in the practice. The firm’s work in public and private securitisation covers all business sectors and major asset classes, including RMBS, consumer loans, trade receivables and whole-business deals.
