Baker McKenzie ‘has a deep bench of talented partners and associates that are extremely knowledgeable’ across a litany of banking, financing and capital market issues. The group has pulled in a high volume of work surrounding debt issuances and programmes and highly complex loan facilities, working predominantly with a range of domestic and international banks but also demonstrating considerable capabilities acting on the borrowers behalf, which have included premium energy and infrastructure companies. Team head Oanh Nguyen is singled out for her expertise in public M&A, including both project finance and IPOs and has been acting exclusively as the leading figure on all of the firm’s key mandates. Both Ngo Thai Ninh and Pham Thuy Van have been highly active over the past twelve months, acting on large-scale cross-border transactions involving multinational banks.
