Loan Portfolio and Distressed Debt Transactions

Debt trading is now a common feature of the developed loan markets. Advising both buy-side and sell-side, we are experienced in using both the LMA and LSTA forms of trade and sub-participation agreements and more bespoke trade documents.

On loan portfolio transactions we understand the seller's need to achieve a clean exit and the purchaser's need to understand the assets being acquired. We work with the client on the due diligence process and then on structuring and documenting the sale process and any ongoing transitional services requirements.

Debt trading is a tool that can offer opportunities to market players. Our team can help you navigate the process.
