Weil, Gotshal & Manges (London) LLP

Tom Richards heads the London Finance practice. He has become a key architect in developing Weil’s Sponsor Finance practice and establishing its reputation as a leading advisor on the market’s largest, most complex and multi-jurisdictional financings.

Tom covers the full range of financing options for sponsors, from large cap bank/bond transactions to private credit. His clients include leading sponsors such as Advent International, Bain Capital, CVC and Permira. Notably, Tom has continued to be one of a very small selection of go-to financing lawyers for Advent, Bain, Permira and others (including on deals where Weil is not acting on the M&A piece).
