As experienced debt capital markets lawyers, we provide that expertise to help you identify and overcome such challenges by structuring capital markets solutions that address your objectives and/or those of your clients. We also work closely with experienced colleagues from our other practice areas, such as tax and derivatives, to ensure that all legal, regulatory, and tax implications of your transaction are considered and seamlessly integrated. Moreover, our lawyers are experienced in advising all participants in the debt capital markets, providing us with a valuable understanding of the key issues from all sides of the deal table.
As part of the largest fully integrated network of law offices and law partners of any global law firm, we draw regularly upon the comprehensive resources of the firm to address the full scope of related regulatory, legal, and other issues that arise in complex finance transactions across industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. We work closely with lawyers in our Equity Capital Markets, Banking and Asset Finance, Restructuring & Insolvency, Financial Services, and Litigation and Dispute Resolution practices. Our clients benefit from our collaboration across borders, disciplines, and markets to provide the best possible advice efficiently and seamlessly.
For issuers of debt securities, as well as often being strategically important, we recognise that capital markets transactions can impose a host of additional duties, obligations and responsibilities on issuers. We work alongside our clients and their other advisers in an efficient and cost effective manner to provide complete clarity at every stage and ensure that their goals are met. Using a thorough project management approach, we do everything we can to ensure transactions run as smoothly as possible, working to minimise the demands on clients’ time and any disruption to their businesses.
