The team works collaboratively across finance, tax, regulatory and restructuring disciplines and places a real emphasis on thoughtful structuring and pragmatic execution.
As the practice continues to develop its structured finance offering, senior associates are encouraged to take on increasing responsibility, broaden client exposure and play an active role in the evolution of the team.
