Paul Hastings LLP has 'a very strong and high-quality high yield deal team', led by the vastly experienced Patrick Bright. The firm has grown its team in recent years, with Alexander Horstmann-Caines and counsel Jemma Lohr McPherson following Bright from his previous firm in 2022 to join Maximilian Kirchner, a key adviser to investment banks, multinational companies and private equity sponsors, and up-and-coming talent Edward Holmes, who is particularly active in the sponsor and acquisition financing space. Although high-profile partner Peter Schwartz took a team to join King & Spalding LLP in early 2024, the firm continues to be a major presence in the leveraged finance market, and it frequently handles private equity sponsor-backed high yield financings alongside Term Loan B and private credit deals. Although it is primarily creditor-focused, the London group also acts for private equity sponsors and corporate issuers in new issuances, as well as restructuring and liability management exercises, including bond buybacks and exchange offers.

‘Very strong and high-quality high yield deal team.'
- 'The transaction involved several unconventional considerations around the listing venue and potential local clearing. PH managed both these aspects very well, and proved their usefulness particularly by connecting and coordinating with the right local counsel who helped us execute the transaction successfully.’
