The ‘nimble and dynamic’ team at CMS is well-equipped to deliver cost-effective guidance to stakeholders on mid-market acquisition finance matters, both within the UK and multi-jurisdictionally. Although it does handle some bank work, the team is best-known for its borrower practice which advises funds and corporates on funding throughout the capital structure to facilitate M&A deals across a range of targeted sectors. Patrick Donegan has a focus advising on infrastructure and energy-related debt financings (including acquisition finance mandates) and heads up a team that also includes the ’accessible’ Tom Siggers, whose creditor/debtor practice includes lending structures implementing unitranche, syndicated and ABL bank facilities; TMT finance expert Charles Kerrigan; and the ‘erudite’ Olivia Crundwell, whose versatile practice includes work for banks, debt funds and corporates.
