Finance
Mayer Brown International LLP has a stellar track record in complex domestic and cross-border ABL financings spanning the mid-market and above. Drawing on the firm’s wider strengths in securitisation and structured finance, trade finance projects and real estate finance, the practice excels at deals where the ABL financing sits alongside other financial products. Alex Dell oversees the team and is highly recommended for his experience with major lenders, with recent instructions including representing Sound Point Capital Management, LP in the provision of up to USD 200 million of back leverage to Artis Finance Group. Simon Fisher focuses on secured ABL transactions, with particular expertise in large syndicated deals. Ravi Amin is a go-to for cross-border mandates across the US and Europe. Dual-qualified in England and Wales and New York, Victoria Thompson advises on the entirety of ABL transactions, including restructuring and insolvency and borrowing base facility aspects. Dominic Griffiths is another key practitioner, while Veronica Lee also comes recommended.
