Hogan Lovells International LLP enjoys a strong reputation with major private equity houses, which the firm advises on both acquisition financing for targets in Europe, while also assisting them and corporate borrowers with the refinancing of their global debt facilities. Leveraged finance arrangements form another core pillar of the firm’s finance practice, with Wouter Jongen offering expertise in this area and direct lending more broadly, including unitranche arrangements. Jongen heads the team alongside Robert Masman, who is sought out by clients requiring advice on the restructuring of secured and structured facilities.
