Milbank has ‘a strong team with a broad practice’ that encompasses CLOs, often acting for investment managers, and Greek securitisation transactions. The firm counts Bain Capital, KKR and BNP Paribas among its flagship clients. James Warbey, Claire Bridcut, Robert Wyse Jackson and Chris Burke all have an established presence in the European CLO market. Warbey, who played a lead role in the first CLO 2.0 transaction after the global financial crisis, remains a key presence in the space. Bridcut, who is ’willing to take positions rather than follow precedent where appropriate’, acted for Bridgepoint Credit Management Limited as the collateral manager in the €326m issuance of CLO notes.
