Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP has hit the ground running since the establishment of its London-based UK law loans team in March 2023 which effectively complements a pre-existing New York law high yield team. Focusing squarely on creditor-side mandates, chiefly for large investment banks but also for some credit funds, the ‘outstanding’ team has a strong profile for large-cap deals and has in a relatively quiet market handled some high-value sponsor-backed matters. Team head Korey Fevzi has a ’deep understanding of the market’ and is a key member of the team, alongside Philip Stopford, who has a ‘sensible approach to transactions’, and Chantelle Dovey, who provides support in cross-border financings involving the European market.
