Latham & Watkins excels at advising leading French and international banks as well as prominent sponsors on the setting up of complex and large financings, often mixing TL and RCF loans. Recently, the Parisian team has also been particularly busy advising on amend and extend deals and repricing negotiations of large facilities. Finally, the practice also stands out for its high-level LBO finance expertise that advises on mid to large transactions. Xavier Farde and Lionel Dechmann are two highly regarded figures. The practice is led by Carla-Sophie Imperadeiro . Of note, Michel Houdayer left the firm in September 2024.
