Linklaters advises corporations, banks, investment funds, and financial sponsors on corporate, finance, and contentious matters across borders. Its history extends back nearly two centuries, and its current materials emphasize collaboration among practices and jurisdictions. The firm's US work forms part of that international commercial platform.
Structured finance provides one example of the practice. Its New York materials describe capital raising through securitized products and structured credit, including assets connected to renewable energy, aviation, auto finance, and trade receivables. The work involves issuers, sponsors, asset managers, arranging banks, lenders, and investors, with securities and regulatory requirements shaping the transaction.
For students, these matters illustrate how international finance practice combines documentation, commercial analysis, and regulation. The underlying assets affect how a transaction is structured, while the parties and offering format determine additional legal requirements. Linklaters' broader corporate and disputes capabilities supply context for the other needs of the same financial and business clients.
