Offering product experts in London as well as in key regional cities including Leeds and Manchester, DLA Piper provides a 'very proactive service' to a varied mix of banks, credit funds, sponsors and corporates, both at the front end and in a restructuring context. Co-heads Sarah Day and Joseph Frew have deep industry knowledge which comes into play in advising on relatively commoditised mandates and more bespoke structures, as well as product development for lenders. Clients also benefit from access to a number of adept restructuring lawyers, including Neil Riley and Birmingham-based Stephen Bottley, who are well-versed in refinancing and restructuring ABL facilities on both the creditor and debtor front. Alastair Carruthers is also recommended.
