DLA Piper is known for 'innovative thinking where it matters most, and the ability to deliver specialised solutions with confidence and clarity'. Adept in complex multi-jurisdictional transactions, the practice is known for its ability to handle innovative issues, among them fund structuring, asset tokenisation and technology innovation. Global co-chair of financial services Mark Dwyer leads the practice, in which the highly respected Vincent Keaveny is a standout partner. Dwyer's work with novel asset classes includes acting for Concord Music in a $1.8bn securitisation of a music catalogue including works by Creedence Clearwater Revival, Daft Punk and Pink Floyd. Steven Krivinskas, who acts for both financial institutions and borrowers, is 'very skilled at regular vanilla securitisation transactions, but should be a go-to choice for more esoteric transactions'. He acted for Deutsche Bank as arranger in a €200m securitisation of auto loans. Newly promoted partner Marcus Lovatt 'goes above and beyond to provide a great service'. CLO specialist Ronan Mellon moved to Mayer Brown International LLP in 2022. Finance, projects and restructuring partner Martin Bartlam left for an in-house position in late 2023.
