Our cash CLO group is part of the firm's finance practice and we
have led the market in European CLOs since its inception. We have
advised arrangers, collateral managers, trustees and monolines on
over 190 European CLOs to date. In addition to CLOs of leveraged
loans, we have experience of the full spectrum of other asset
classes including asset-backed, CFOs and CLOs of PFI loans and LCDS
as well as static and managed CLOs structured to take advantage of
central bank funding facilities. Our CLO practice is also fully
integrated with our derivatives practice making it a natural choice
for synthetic CLOs and hybrid transactions. We have recently
advised in relation to a number of static transactions, including
those structured to be eligible to repo with the ECB, and less
leveraged transactions.
Our CLO practice is supported by our debt trading unit which conducts
the due diligence in relation to leveraged loan CLOs. We can
therefore offer an unparalleled streamlined service co-ordinating
transfer, tax and regulatory issues arising in all relevant
jurisdictions.
