The structured capital markets group at Baker McKenzie is ‘highly cost-effective and extremely prompt’. It is particularly active for buy-side clients, among them sovereign wealth funds, hedge funds, pension schemes, and large multinationals. It is also sought after for both transactional and regulatory advice by investment banks and private equity firms. Head of structured capital markets Simon Porter has skilled individuals in his team, including James Tanner, who is ’a master in the field’. Alongside his main focus on securitisation, he handles derivatives and structured products, and cross-border restructurings.
