‘Reed Smith has a unique approach to bridge legal advice with aspects of funds financing transactions that commonly end up in the legal-commercial grey area. They always provide first-class service, and have remained our top choice for legal advisers over the past five years. They have a broad range of expertise within the team, with great diversity and the ability to collaborate across teams where the need arises – including funds formation, securitisation, tax, local counsel, etc..
