Ms Smridhi Gulati > Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP > London, England > Lawyer Profile

Established in April 2022 following the ‘commercially sharp’ Matthew Smith ‘s arrival from Baker McKenzie, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP has quickly made an impact with a lender focused client base and is ‘building a growing presence in the private credit markets’. Clients, which include a number of debt funds, appreciate  not only its ‘strong technical and commercial understanding’ of core leveraged finance products but also the synergies provided by the firm’s broader competence in fund finance, in particular. The team’s upward trajectory was further underscored by the arrival in April 2023 of the ‘exceptional’ Smridhi Gulati  from Dechert LLP, who now co-heads the team alongside Smith.
