As well as making a strong impact within the leveraged finance arena, Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP‘s relatively newly formed English law finance offering has also picked up its fair share of mandates for banks in relation to corporate lending and event-driven syndicated lending transactions. Philip Stopford has been key to much of this workflow, often collaborating with the firm’s New York office for facilities marketed to US investors, including on some major repricings to take advantage of attractive market conditions. Korey Fevzi heads up the firm’s EMEA banking and credit team from London and has been instrumental to the firm’s immediate creditor-side success in the leveraged finance market.
