Operating as a cohesive national offering which leans into its strong Birmingham office in particular, Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP has cultivated long-standing relationships with banks and sponsors which it continues to serve on mid-market domestic and European transactions. The firm’s deal flow in this segment of the market has also been hugely enhanced by the presence of the ‘truly exceptional’ Ben Davis who, since his arrival in July 2023 from Proskauer Rose LLP, has galvanised the firm’s private credit fund offering as a result of the very strong relationships he has with the likes of Crescent Capital and Intermediate Capital Partners. Team head Nick Swiss is also a key member of the team and regularly advises banks and corporates on acquisition finance transactions.
