The DCM team at Sidley Austin LLP is ‘very focused in understanding the overall business of the client and it offers services based on their general understanding of their needs‘. The practice is ‘always thoughtful and arguably one of the most personable firms in the legal world‘. David Howe, who leads the English law practice in London, frequently acts leading European corporate and bank issuers, such as GlaxoSmithKline and Bank of Cyprus. His recent work for GSK includes the offering of notes with a combined value in excess of £3.5bn. US partner Alan Grinceri also plays a pivotal role in the practice, particularly following the retirement of London head of US law Mark Walsh at the end of 2022. Nigel Wilson (who is ‘always in the detail‘) is dual-qualified in US and English law, and he handles both investment and non-investment grade debt as part of a broad capital markets practice. Counsel Omar Shafi also play pivotal roles in DCM deals.
