The group at Haynes and Boone, L.L.P. is lauded for its ‘excellent expertise in financial services law’ within financing transactions as well as regulatory aspects of such transactions, incorporating derivatives and commodities trading knowledge. Team members are particularly adept in global credit risk management, mandates which often fall at the door of Giorgio Bovenzi, and margin lending. The group utilises an ability to review multiple loans and fund documents simultaneously. Bovenzi and Craig Unterberg in New York lead the team alongside Todd Cubbage and LeAnn Chen in Charlotte and Chicago/Shanghai respectively, the latter of which is integral to group’s ability to work on cross-border matters in countries such as Singapore. Indeed, the group stands out for the breadth of its cross-border expertise across 90 jurisdictions.
