Mayer Brown International LLP

Acting on its own as well as being able to draw upon resources from Europe and the US on multi-jurisdictional mandates, the ‘responsive and commercially minded’ team at Mayer Brown International LLP advises a sponsor-focused client base on mid-market transactions utilising debt products throughout the capital stack. ’One of the most experienced lawyers in the market’, team head Stuart Brinkworth is pivotal to much of this work, as well as being active on some lender mandates for private credit funds, including in the context of unitranche products. Andy Kolacki is also active for credit funds as lenders, as well as continuing to handle a considerable volume of work for private equity sponsors on mid-market deals. ‘Technically excellent’ senior associate Bridget Polkinghorne is also recommended.
