The partner-led team at DLA Piper provides ‘pragmatic and thorough’ advice to a borrower-focused client base across a range of corporate lending and event-driven transactions, with many of them sourced utilising funding provided by banking syndicates. The ’very strong’ Mark Dwyer plays a pivotal role in the firm’s success on the debtor side, providing strategic guidance to investment-grade and listed corporations across their capital structure. Dwyer advises on all aspects of financing and corporate treasury matters, as well as the funding of UK public takeovers of listed companies. The ‘highly responsive and organised’ Mei Mei Wong’s versatile practice includes fund finance transactions, as well as a considerable volume of corporate lending and acquisition finance matters for borrowers, including on funding provisions utilising sustainability-linked terms.
