Reed Smith's Financial Services Practice
The lawyers in Reed Smith's Financial Industry Group represent 24 of the world's top 25 banks, institutional investors, major insurers, leading private equity funds, lessors, lessees and major corporate borrowers in the origination and documentation of highly complex leveraged and structured finance transactions; the workout and restructuring of highly complex financing facilities; and sophisticated litigation matters.
Many of the senior lawyers in our New York, London, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Paris, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and German offices are recognized as leaders in their fields and are relied on for their experience with the most complex and innovative bank and capital-markets-based financings. Our clients also rely on the 200 members of our Financial Industry Group—spread throughout our 22 global offices—for their ability to execute under the laws of most major international jurisdictions.
In 2009, faced with the potential meltdown of the financial industry, our clients called on Reed Smith lawyers for their experience with the most intricate financing arrangements. By way of example, we were approached to defend major institutions from investor lawsuits and governmental actions stemming from the collapse of complex financial products, such as auction rate securities.
While our experience in lending and finance is extremely varied, we have particular experience in syndicated transactions, asset-based lending transactions, mezzanine finance, acquisition finance and leveraged buyouts, senior and subordinated bridge financings, equipment financing, ship finance, and aircraft finance.
