Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton

The nimble and flexible partner-led team at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton is well-placed to advise its borrower-focused client base, including private equity-owned portfolio companies, across a myriad new money and refinancing transactions, frequently involving funding provided by banking syndicates. Jim Ho is emblematic of this versatility, being conversant across a range of banking and capital markets finance products to help facilitate funding opportunities for corporate clients, as well as for sovereign borrowers in a restructuring capacity. Often working alongside colleagues in New York, the team is also skilled at helping European companies access debt in the US markets, and for US corporates looking toward Europe. Ho co-heads the team alongside Ed Aldred  and Alexander van der Gaag, who are both best-known for their leveraged finance expertise.
