Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP is known for being ‘very responsive, professional, collaborative, and good at helping clients navigate tricky topics’. It has one of the leading CLO practices, as well as being a prominent adviser on a broad range of ABS transactions and securitisations, particularly those involving niche and novel asset classes. The firm has a deep bench of nine securitisation and structured finance partners, who are ‘approachable as well as knowledgeable, and sensitive to clients’ commercial pressures’. Among them are CLO guru David Quirolo; Suzanne Bell, who advised the originator on the issuance of £450m in notes under a master trust programme; Robert Cannon, who handles mortgage securitisation and commercial paper conduits; RMBS innovator Matthew Duncan; Nick Shiren, who handles residential and commercial mortgage transactions; and CLO specialists Daniel Tobias, Alexander Collins and Claire Puddicombe. Sabah Nawaz, who advises private equity funds, banks and corporate borrowers on securitisation and debt issuance, is also recommended. Stephen Day left the firm in late 2023.
