Highlighted for its ‘unique knowledge of the client and its needs’, the capital markets practice at Simmons & Simmons stands out for its specialisation in derivatives and structured products – particularly securitisations, repackagings, and standalone bond issues – and is commended for its ’great experience in MTN programmes and debt issuance, both public and private‘. The practice is led by dual-qualified Alfredo de Lorenzo (Spain and England), a key contact for issuers, global coordinators and institutional investors. Borja Carpintero is no longer at the firm.
