Andrew Carey > Hogan Lovells International LLP > London, England > Lawyer Profile

Hogan Lovells International LLP brings together lawyers from its banking, infrastructure, energy, resources, projects, litigation, capital markets, restructuring and corporate teams to provide a wealth of experience in emerging markets. Banking partner Andrew Taylor oversees the firm’s emerging markets work, and he frequently acts for banks, national and multilateral DFIs, governments and corporates. Andrew Carey has extensive experience in international debt offerings, including securities programmes, corporate, and sovereign bonds. Adrian Walker, who leads the firm’s ESG group, is a key partner in the infrastructure, energy, resources and projects practice, and is a regular adviser on projects in Africa. Mining and power projects specialist Arun Velusami and global head of oil, gas and LNG Ben Sulaiman also play key roles in emerging markets work.

The London office of Hogan Lovells International LLP works closely with other offices in the firm’s international network to handle cross-border matters, drawing on expertise in both English and US law. It has niche expertise in advising bondholders on distressed debt situations, and it is one of the few firms to have a dedicated trust and agency practice. Practice head Kit Johnson is a vastly experienced partner who acts for corporate trustees on the full spectrum of capital markets transactions, both new issuances and in regard to post-issuance issues. He is particularly recommended for advice on distressed debt situations and inter-creditor disputes. Andrew Carey frequently handles international debt offerings, including securities programmes, corporate issuance and sovereign bonds. He also acts for trustees and other stakeholders in bond restructurings, and is co-head of the firm’s sustainable finance and investment practice group.

Hogan Lovells International LLP focuses not only on the origination of high yield bonds but also on liability managements and restructurings. The firm is highly active for corporate issuers as well as for banks. It is particularly well known for bond issuance in the hospitality, real estate, automotive and aviation sectors, though it is increasingly active for clients in the technology industry. Practice head Sylvain Dhennin is the key partner for the firm’s high yield work for private equity sponsors, funds, financial institutions and corporates. Andrew Carey leads the sustainable finance and investment practice, so is involved in the firm’s work on ESG-related high yield bonds.
