About Mayer Brown

Mayer Brown identifies banking and finance as a foundational practice and a continuing part of its international identity. Its clients include financial institutions as well as borrowers, issuers, and other transaction participants. The firm's published finance work spans traditional lending and more specialized structures used to raise or deploy capital.

Its capabilities include secured transactions, securitization, structured finance, and global trade finance. These matters can involve banks, investment vehicles, leasing businesses, insurers, and real estate institutions. The firm's international materials also describe financing work across multiple jurisdictions, where commercial terms interact with local legal requirements.

For students, this offering provides a concrete view of finance practice beyond a general corporate label. The type of asset, source of repayment, security package, and position of the client all influence the legal work. Mayer Brown's finance materials show how lawyers structure transactions around those differences while coordinating with participants and counsel in other markets.
