Although it is less visible on the jumbo financings that require both loan and high yield offerings, Ashurst has excellent market traction within the mid to upper mid-market on behalf of lenders and sponsors. While it also has excellent relationships with traditional banking clients, the firm has been particularly visible within the private credit space. In this regard, Ross Ollerhead is a popular choice for key investor clients which are appreciative of his ability to advise on new money deals, as well as on more distressed situations. Laura Ho is also very adept at handling credit-fund-led leveraged finance deals as well as acquisition finance work in the infrastructure space for both borrowers and lenders. Douglas Murning is well-versed at handling work in the private debt space, as is Helen Burton, who maintains a very strong relationship with a global asset manager. Senior partner Nigel Ward has vast experience in infrastructure financings, among other types of lending mandates, and is part of the overarching global loans group headed up by Mark Edwards.
