Latham & Watkins

Latham & Watkins advises the businesses and institutions that power the global economy. We leverage the firm's top-tier strength in Asia, the US, Europe, and the Middle East to seamlessly advise market participants on complex domestic and cross-border transactions, including front-end direct lending and leveraged finance, corporate reorganizations, restructurings and insolvencies, distressed investing and special situations, PIPE transactions, preferred equity and convertible debt, asset-backed securitisations and financings, infrastructure financings, project finance, buyouts, carve-outs, asset M&A, activist transactions, venture capital investments and capital raising. With a comprehensive view across different investment strategies, Latham’s lawyers advise clients on all aspects of their business in deploying private capital, from fund formation, fundraising, and regulatory matters to analyzing, structuring, and executing transactions and portfolio management.

Latham advises the broadest range of market participants across the full spectrum of bespoke financing solutions. We bring exceptional insight to hybrid instrument transactions, having advised on countless market-leading hybrid deals to fill the gaps in capital structures between senior debt and control equity, and to finance acquisitions, growth, dividend recaps, fund liquidity solutions, and rescue financings.

We have been at the forefront of the evolution of the private credit markets. With our breadth of experience and deep investor relationships across the largest direct lenders can rely on our comprehensive understanding of the market and proven track record in closing transactions with cutting-edge terms.

We are one of very few firms with a market-leading restructuring and insolvency practice in Asia and globally. As a firm, Latham has assisted hundreds of banks, hedge funds, private equity sponsors, borrowers and issuers in cross-border restructurings and enabled them to navigate complicated situations and come out better off at the other end of the transaction. In order to deliver a successful restructuring, the firm draws on its extensive legal experience in global finance and restructuring transactions, and resources from across our many offices worldwide. We are also known for our ability to think outside the box and come up with innovative solutions to help our clients achieve their goals.
