Praised by clients for the 'superb calibre of associates and partners alike', Linklaters LLP's wide-ranging offering includes liability management transactions, regulatory capital, equity-linked transactions, and standalone issuances. The team is also noted for its capabilities in green, social, and sustainability-linked issuances, working with some of the world's largest international lenders. 'Widely (and rightly) considered the leading lawyer in the market for equity-linked', Ben Dulieu's recent mandates include deals for leading retailers and chip manufacturers. Elaine Keats is recommended for her track record in big-ticket liability management transactions, while Carson Welsh's recent engagements include high-value standalone issuances by a range of leading banks and insurers. Other key figures include Arjun Muddu, a specialist in liability management transactions, and Andrew Chaplin, who works with a mix of banks and insurers.
