Ropes & Gray LLP excels in handling work for investment banks and multinational corporates seeking or providing funding for large-cap deals incorporating both UK and US-law governed financing techniques. The scope of this work is broad, including event-driven transactions implementing syndicated lending facilities, as well as refinancings and funding for working capital purposes. Although the firm is industry agnostic, it handles a considerable amount of work in the telecommunications space, including for Altice, one of the biggest issuers of bonds and loans in the European market. UK and US-qualified high-yield debt expert Michael Kazakevich is key to these transactions and heads up the team that also includes Alex Robb and Benoit Lavigne who are both very accomplished finance lawyers.
