The securitisation offering at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP is well established in the market, being frequently sought after by a portfolio of clients that includes BNP Paribas, JP Morgan, Wells Fargo and others for CLO, ABS, CMBS, RMBS and various other transactions. Based out of New York, Mike Gambro is particularly well-versed in CMBS transactions, and co-heads the team with the Charlotte-based Stuart Goldstein, who is often sought after by clients for his expertise in CRE CLOs and any ancillary commercial real estate securitization matters. Neil Weidner is adept in securitisation of conventional and unconventional credit assets, alongside his experience in CLO transactions. Ryan McNaughton is a key member of the team for ABS transactions, lending to the team his expertise in esoteric asset-backed securities, including media royalties, whole business and digital infrastructure. Sophie Cuthbertson and Joseph Beach are also cornerstones of the team, with Beach’s experience in syndicated and middle market CLOs complementing Cuthbertson’s work on alternative securities structures and assets including solar and student loans. Lisa Pauquette advises financial actors in various CMBS securitisations, alongside Jeffrey Rotblat. Adam Risell has departed the team. Lawyers are in New York unless otherwise stated.
