Drawing upon a ‘good breadth of knowledge across the debt markets’, the ’very hardworking’ team at Norton Rose Fulbright provides ‘pragmatic’ advice to a balanced roster of banks and large corporates, including on large cross-border syndicated corporate lending deals – where the firm can leverage resources throughout its vast international footprint. The team adds particular value advising on deals within core firmwide sector strengths, including oil and gas, an area that the ’very user-friendly’ Neha Khosla is particularly skilled. Along with Alex Zekkos, Khosla is also very active advising on emerging markets transactions, many of which are structured utilising multi-sourced financings. The ‘responsive, proactive and solutions oriented’ James Dunnett excels in handling corporate lending mandates for creditors and debtors. Michael Black, who co-heads the team alongside Madhavi Gosavi, has a focus on secured lending transactions, including those implementing asset-based lending (ABL) structures.
