Linklaters LLP

Linklaters LLP has ‘the outstanding securitisation team in the City’, according to one client. The firm maintains a broad practice that handles high value, market-leading transactions covering the full spectrum of asset classes. Practice head Andrew Vickery focuses on NPLs, REOs, RMBS, CMBS, ABS, and covered bonds. He recently worked with emerging partner talent Lucy Sidey to assist Cerberus with the securitisation of a mix of residential mortgages and unsecured personal loans, which included the issuance of £1.5bn in notes. Thomas Quoroll is ’a technical superstar, calm, methodical, and goal-orientated’. He focuses on performing and non-performing loan portfolio sales, and asset-backed public and private financing. Adam Fogarty ‘knows when to be hands-on and when to let the associates take the reins’. Real estate and ESG structured finance specialist Alexander Shopov, utility and whole business securitisations expert Reza Taylor, and Aditi Srivastava, who has in-depth knowledge of receivables financings, are among the many highly regarded practitioners in the group, which is supported by a strong team of associates.
