Our corporate trust practice boasts extensive experience in advising corporate trustees and financial institutions.

We provide guidance to clients in various critical roles, including trustee, security agent, collateral administrator, cash manager, custodian, paying/calculation/exchange/collateral/loan/escrow/fiscal agent, and account bank, covering a wide range of finance and capital markets transactions.

New Issuance

Our new issuance services cover both domestic and cross-border transactions across diverse products, including securitizations (whole business, CMBS, RMBS, and ABS), standalone corporate bonds, covered bonds, sukuk, repackaging programs, MTN programs, regulatory and hybrid issuances, CLOs and CDOs, high yield and equity-linked bonds, project finance, asset finance (including aviation and ship financings), and secured lending (including acquisition and leveraged financings). We often take the lead in pioneering new product innovations, offering advice on novel structures and asset classes.

Post-Issuance

Our post-closing services include advice on defaults, litigation, liability management, restructurings, and the exercise of powers and duties concerning amendments, waivers, and refinancings. Additionally, we offer guidance on contentious matters, contractual interpretation, construction, and rights enforcement.

Cross-Practice Capabilities

As a fully integrated firm, we are well-equipped to assist our trustee and agency clients across a comprehensive spectrum of legal areas, including tax, regulatory compliance, real estate, dispute resolution, insolvency, restructuring, and litigation. Supported by extensive market expertise in multiple jurisdictions, such as Europe (Germany, Italy, and Spain), Asia (Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo), the United States, and the Middle East, we have lawyers with trust expertise (and the equivalent creditor representation in civil jurisdictions) in these regions. Leveraging these cross-practice capabilities, we can provide an integrated team of New York and English associates, spanning different levels of seniority, to address new issuance, post-closing, and restructuring matters efficiently.
