Debt Capital Markets
We represent both financial institutions (in their various capacities as arrangers, underwriters, placement agents, investors, etc.) and corporate entities (in their capacity as issuers) in connection with the issuance of bonds, notes, commercial paper, and other capital market instruments.
We have particular, extensive experience in connection with transactions in which securities are listed and placed in a country outside the jurisdiction of incorporation of the issuing entity. We also have substantial experience counseling clients on the myriad issues impacting financial institutions involved in securities activities and investment services.
Our group has advised a broad range of clients in this sector in matters related to securities products, securities transfer law, compliance, financial process intellectual property, and e-finance, among many others. Practitioners within the group have had extensive dealings in bringing such matters to resolution, and can offer clients an extraordinary depth of knowledge.
