Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• AG has massively expanded its securitisation offering; I was astonished to learn they now have one of, if not the, largest securitisation teams in the City. Now that they are expanding, they are able to offer us the same depth of technical legal expertise across structures.
• Taymour Keen and his team are excellent at providing solution-driven advice; they are very innovative and not deterred by complexity. They have managed our transaction across several teams within the firm without us feeling as though we are being passed from department to department. They have a diverse team and are well represented, which is very important to us as a company.
• Taymour Keen and Louise Mule are a great team; they work seamlessly together and have delivered thoughtful and innovative solutions. Their advice is consistently informed by their extensive experience, often drawing on relevant precedents to provide additional comfort that our approach remains firmly within market norms. They bring significant expertise in this area and are highly adept at anticipating counterparties’ positions, which is a considerable advantage.
• Taymour Keen is head and shoulders above in terms of client delivery and service.
• High partner engagement on all matters with very good senior associates supporting all deals. There is a wealth of knowledge across the fintech sector and various funding structures.
• Really easy to work with and genuinely collaborative, they feel like an extension of the team rather than external advisors. They understand the commercial side and give practical advice that actually helps move things forward. Communication is clear and straightforward, with no unnecessary complexity. They’re responsive and available when it matters, so you’re not left waiting around for answers.
• The team members make a real effort to fully get to know our business - this means that the advice is tailored and you know you are in safe hands. Taymour Keen is one of my favorite lawyers to work with - his knowledge and experience, plus knowing our business, means I can really rely on him, especially when deals get busy. I also thoroughly enjoy working with Louise Mule - she has also worked hard to get to know our business and has great attention to detail.
• I really enjoy working with this team - they are my go-to firm for securitizations. They have stand-out lawyers who are always available and are genuinely lovely people. The team is fair on fees and will stick to their quotes wherever possible. They have an in-depth knowledge of the area - and as the firm is full service, it also means you know they will have a specialist on hand if something comes up on a deal.
• The individuals I have worked with stand out for their commitment to delivery and their consistent focus on protecting the client’s interests. They demonstrate a high level of diligence and attention to detail, combined with a pragmatic, solutions-oriented mindset. What differentiates them from competitors is their steadfast approach - they remain engaged and focused on achieving completion, even when transactions become complex or challenging. This reliability provides a strong sense of confidence throughout the process. In addition, their responsiveness, clear communication, and willingness to go beyond a traditional advisory role have been particularly valuable. They take real ownership of outcomes, which makes a tangible difference to the success of transactions.
• The Addleshaw Goddard securitisation team stands out for its highly personalised and pragmatic approach. What differentiates them is their ability to remain flexible and solution-focused throughout a transaction, consistently looking for ways to progress matters rather than getting caught up in obstacles. They combine strong technical expertise with a commercial mindset, which is particularly valuable in complex or evolving deals. A key strength is their willingness to take on a broader, quasi-project management role where needed. This ensures transactions maintain momentum, especially at critical stages where deals can otherwise stall. Compared to other firms, this proactive ownership and commitment to delivery is notable. The team also demonstrates strong collaboration and responsiveness, integrating well with all stakeholders involved. Their approach feels less transactional and more like a genuine partnership, which is a meaningful differentiator in this space.
