Acting on its own as well as often working alongside firmwide lawyers based in other key financial centres, including London, Baker McKenzie excels in handling cross-border financing structures, utilising a range of products for asset managers, corporates and banks. As well as regularly advising on fund-backed acquisition finance mandates, the team, which is co-headed by Laurent Fessmann and Jean-François Trapp, is particularly active within the real estate sector. Both partners handle this work, with Fessmann also noted for his aptitude at handling bridge and fund financing for asset managers.
