Slaughter and May

Adopting a fairly generalist ethos to financing work, Slaughter and May is very well suited to advising investment-grade corporates across the panoply of their ongoing finance needs, from recapitalisations and multicurrency revolving credit facilities through to event-driven financings. Matthew Tobin regularly handles large capital raising exercises for borrowers, both in the syndicated loan and bond markets, including those linked to sustainability/ESG targets. Caroline Phillips is also well-versed on sustainability financings, as well as advising public and private corporates (including sponsor-backed portfolio companies) across a myriad financing requirements utilising the bank and bond markets. Robert Byk has niche expertise within the oil and gas sector, and is also one of a number in the team with bid finance knowledge. Team head Ed Fife is also recommended for his work on large investment-grade syndicated deals, as well as more structured mandates for cross-over credits.
