Clifford Chance

Clifford Chance provides a ‘high quality and responsive service’ to a stellar roster of banking and funds clients providing or seeking finance to facilitate a range of transactions. The team is well-placed to advise on cross-border mandates by virtue of its vast international network but is also picking up an increased volume of work where Luxembourg law governs the contractual documentation between parties. In this regard, the ’very responsive’ Martin Wurth is noted for his fund financing prowess and regularly advises banks and borrowers on both syndicated and bilateral facilities. Steve Jacoby also provides ‘top-notch’ advice on fund financing subscription and capital call facility agreements, as well as handling a considerable amount of fintech and acquisition finance mandates. Stefanie Ferring handles new money deals, refinancings and restructurings, with the real estate sector a particularly fertile source of work. Marc Mehlen rounds out the team at a leadership level and is noted for his capital markets prowess, particularly as it relates to securitisations and debt issuances.
