Dechert LLP's practice predominantly concentrates on the lender-side, but extends to acting for these lender clients in their capacity as borrower, or seller, in back-leverage arrangements. Department head Aparna Sehgal leads on loan-on-loans and repurchase facilities, and routinely represents the interests of whole loan and senior lenders, mezzanine debt providers, and both back-leverage counterparties. John McGrath advises banks and buy-side parties on performing and non-performing financial products, often involving enforcement or restructuring of derivatives and securitisations. Richard Pugh is active on commercial mortgage-backed securitisations.
