Latham & Watkins is known for ‘best-in-class lawyers and unparalleled commitment to clients, especially in complex financing situations’. In 2022, the firm acted on 59% of all European high yield issuances, and that figure rose to 74% in 2023, showing how dominant a force it is in the market. With 17 partners in London it has a wealth of talented lawyers to choose from, among them practice head Brett Cassidy and standout partner Matthew Schneider, who handles billion-dollar private placements combining Euro- and dollar-denominated bonds; Jennifer Engelhardt, who is a prominent adviser on deals in the oil and gas market; Jocelyn Seitzman, who advises the world’s biggest investment banks on LBO transactions and securities regulation; and highly regarded acquisition finance and high yield specialist Francesco Lione. Scott Colwell and Pat Kwak left the firm in October 2024.
