Our team operates at the cutting edge of structured finance; structuring and implementing innovative and complex transactions in securitisations, structured products, derivatives and tax-driven schemes. We adopt a forward-thinking approach and constantly devise innovative solutions to reflect the changing needs of our clients.

We have acted on many of the most significant securitisation transactions completed in Europe, Asia and the US. These include groundbreaking transactions that use innovative structures to resolve regulatory and tax issues that have hampered multijurisdictional securitisations. The group also acts on a range of complex structured product work from derivatives, tax, legal, capital and regulatory and arbitrage-driven transactions through to structuring and implementing issues to raise regulatory capital.

We have been acknowledged as a leading force in structured finance and developed a reputation for providing innovative solutions on complex and often 'first-of-their-kind' mandates. In 2006 and 2007 we have won awards for Securitisation of the Year, Securitisation Deal of the Year, Best Securitisation of Emerging Market Assets, Non-Conforming Asset Securitisation of the Year, Best Securitisation of European Assets, Insurance Securitisation of the Year, Corporate Securitisation of the Year, Most Innovative Asset-backed Deal, Asian Deal of the Year, EMEA Innovatrion of the Year, Innovative Shipping Finance Deal and Structured Finance & Securitisation Deal of the Year.
