White & Case LLP 'provides an excellent service and the lawyers are always available, answering queries of the time of the day or night'. Its work includes high-profile European high yield deals and a strong flow of work from emerging markets. The US-qualified London team acts for investment banks and corporate issuers and its highlights from 2017 included advising Wind Tre on the €7.3bn offering of senior secured notes. Practice head Rob Matthews led that deal and is 'client-focused, solution-oriented and commercial; he has many years of experience as is able to advise on any issue'. Jill Concannon, who frequently acts for private equity sponsors, is 'an excellent lawyer, very client-focused'. She acted for Puma International Financing in a $600m Rule 144a/Regulation S issuance, and a tender offer for the company's existing notes. Also recommended are leveraged finance partner Paul Clews, restructuring and liability management specialist David Becker, and newly promoted partner James Greene who played a role in the Wind Tre and Puma deals.
