Led by Laurent Lazard, the ‘responsive and efficient’ team at BSP provides ’high quality and cost-effective advice’ to banks, funds and corporates seeking or providing finance, often requiring a more bespoke structure. Lazard is particularly adept at advising arrangers and issuers on securitisation transactions, particularly where auto loans form the underlying asset class. The ‘impressive’ Nuala Doyle also advises on securitisation mandates, although she is best-known for her DCM and ECM work, both from a transactional and a regulatory perspective. Nicolas Widung, who was recently promoted to partner, is ’highly responsive, pragmatic and knowledgeable,’ and has earned particular acclaim for his real estate finance work.
