Baker McKenzie

Baker McKenzie ‘provides an exceptional service that is head and shoulders above its competitors’, according to one client. The firm has an increasingly broad securitisation practice, though it is best known for its work on the trustee side, and practice head Simon Porter is widely acknowledged as an expert in this field. Clients praise the firm’s ’efficiency, expertise, and responsiveness’, not only in trustee work, but also as adviser to sponsors, originators, arrangers in deals backed by consumer finance assets, trade receivables, residential mortgages, auto loans, and more. Jeremy Levy is a key adviser to many private equity firms. Sarah Porter frequently acts for banks in specialty finance and debt restructuring matters. Global chair of derivatives Matthew Dening also plays a key role in the practice.
