Squire Patton Boggs

Squire Patton Boggs has cemented its position in the London trade finance market since hiring an experienced team in 2021. Clients remark that it has 'a very talented team of lawyers with absolutely impeccable knowledge of trade finance and its intricate nuances'. Much of that experience stems from lead partner Robert Parson, who is not only a key advisor to the joint ICC UK/UK Government initiative to exploit the passing of the Electronic Trade Documents act 2023, but also acts for banks and non-bank financiers, funds, commodity traders, producers, credit insurers and many other participants on structured trade and inventory finance and the use of financial instruments such as letters of credit, bills of exchange and promissory notes. He is supported by talented senior associates Geraldine Butac and Jennifer Greengrass, who are heavily involved in trade and commodity finance deals.
