At Clifford Chance LLP ‘the team is always a pleasure to work with, going above and beyond to support the client through transactions, and making themselves available at short notice‘. The practice led by Maggie Zhao ‘has deep knowledge and experience and is a go-to team for complex transactions requiring innovative solutions‘. It is frequently called upon to handle market-first transactions across a host of asset classes, among them RMBS, covered bonds, consumer ABS, auto ABS and SME lending transactions. Head of the international structured debt group Kevin Ingram recently acted for Bank of Ireland in the £600m Temple Quay No.1 PLC, a static RMBS securitisation backed by a non-conforming portfolio of performing and reperforming mortgage loans. Key partner Christopher Walsh has in-depth experience of structured debt transactions and capital market products. Emma Matebalavu is head of the firm’s global financial markets practice and specialises in all types of mortgage finance. Simeon Radcliff stands out for multi-jurisdictional trade receivables transactions. Jessica Littlewood leads the European CLO practice, and is a key adviser to both managers and investors. Up-and-coming partners Adam Craig ( who ‘has an ability to present ideas in an easily digestible way‘), Will Sutton and Simi Arora-Lalani are all heavily involved in the firm’s high-profile transactions.
