Often working collaboratively alongside the firm's corporate practice, Stibbe provides 'pragmatic and responsive' advice to a borrower-focused client base across a range of new money and refinancing transactions supported by bank debt and through the debt capital markets. Private equity continues to account for a significant amount of this work, with the firm benefiting from strong US law firm referral ties, as well as increasingly being instructed directly by the funds themselves on downstream investment financings and on portfolio company refinancings. 'Exceptionally skilled' team head Jean-Marc Delcour takes the lead on much of this and is very adept at handling work within the real estate sector.
