Securitisation
"Shows all the signs of a promising practice" (Chambers UK, 2007)
"Made significant strides" (Legal 500, 2006)
To provide our clients with top quality advice on securitisation transactions, Berwin Leighton Paisner LLP draws upon the experienced securitisation focused resources of our tax, real estate, real estate finance, corporate, projects and capital markets practices. Indeed, we have more than 17 partners and 30 associates who regularly advise on various aspects of securitisation transactions and related matters.
Our dedicated Securitisation Group is led by five partners, each of whom is a recognised leader in the international securitisation market. Members of the Securitisation Group have advised arrangers, originators, borrowers, credit enhancers, monolines, private equity and real estate funds, sellers, servicers, collateral managers, swap counterparties, rating agencies and trustees in connection with the securitisation of a wide variety of assets, including real estate, commercial and residential mortgages, consumer loans, commercial loans, future flow credit card and export receivables, trade receivables, automobile loans, equipment leases, utility and infrastructure cash flows and whole businesses. In particular, we have significant experience of advising on all aspects of UK and European commercial real estate securitisations (including B Note transactions) in conjunction with our top-ranked Real Estate Finance team.
We have also advised managers and arrangers on the repackaging into securities (CDOs) of various types of financial assets, including Eurobonds and domestic bonds, government debt, loans (including real estate loans), commodity futures and other derivatives.
We have worked with assets in the UK and all of the major Western European jurisdictions, as well as with assets in Asia, the Middle East, Russia, Eastern Europe and the United States. In fact, our clients are not the only ones who invest in developing new products and new markets. We routinely partner with our clients to undertake the R&D necessary to bring to the market new asset classes, innovative structures and alternative products. We are particularly known for our creativity and dogged persistence in structuring securitisations in emerging markets.
