Slaughter and May has ‘a highly cohesive team that delivers a seamless service regardless of transaction complexity‘. Oliver Wicker and Guy O’Keefe are the lead partners in a 17-partner finance practice, in which all lawyers handle a broad range of work from securitisation and structured finance to debt capital markets. This multi-specialist approach sees the firm involved in RMBS, CMBS, credit card, trade receivables, auto-loans and WBS deals, as well as CLOs and covered bonds. Known best as an issuer-side practice, it increasingly acts for banks and other financial institutions, as well as investment funds, insurers, pension funds and sovereign entities.
