Banks, debt funds, and borrowers turn to Jo Robinson when they need advice on a wide variety of financing structures such as senior, unitranche, first out/last out, second lien, and payment in kind financing arrangements on acquisitions and other leveraged finance transactions. A partner in the firm’s Banking and Loan Financing team, she focuses her practice on acquisition and leverage finance transactions. Jo’s close relationships with some of the very early debt funds in the UK market means she has been at the forefront of the development of the unitranche product, having worked on one of the very first unitranche financings in the London market back in 2008.
