Job Description

The Team
The wider team is made up of four practice areas: capital markets, securitisation / structured finance, derivatives and corporate trustee.

The DCM and Corporate Trustee teams advise sovereign, quasi-sovereign and corporate issuers, investment banks, dealers, and trustees on the entire spectrum of cross-border debt capital markets transactions (including Shariah-compliant structures) in a broad range of transactions under English, New York and Canadian law, including high-yield, investment grade and sovereign debt (in both public and private transactions and in both programme and stand-alone form), exchangeable and convertible bonds, commercial paper programmes, exchange offers, tender offer and consent solicitations, as well as debt restructurings. The team's experience extends to debt issues under Canada's Multijurisdictional Disclosure System (adopted by the US SEC and Canadian securities regulatory authorities) and debt offerings registered with the US SEC.

The Securitisation team advises arrangers, funders, originators, service providers, trustees and insurers (both private and public sector) on a wide spectrum of securitisation, warehousing and covered bond transactions. Asset classes on which we frequently advise include residential mortgages, business lending, lease receivables, consumer receivables, trade receivables and whole business securitisations. Our practice is evenly split between UK based and international clients.
