Finance & Capital Markets (International & Cross-Border)

Chambers Review

New York-headquartered Paul, Weiss has a strong corporate identity and culture, offering high-end M&A capabilities. The firm's typical clients include financial institutions, multinational companies and large private equity houses and asset managers. For global work anchored in the USA or with US aspects, the firm is a strong choice for transactional work such as M&A, financing and private equity investments. The firm's own offices connect its US base with presence in Europe and Asia, and it is also known to collaborate effectively with high-end firms in other jurisdictions.

The firm offers clients strong international capabilities in the areas of acquisition financing, LBOs, asset financing and restructuring. It provides US-based expertise in areas of capital markets including high yield, ECM and securitisation, with teams regularly linking with a well-established capital markets group in Japan to serve clients on cross-border deals. US teams often collaborate with London colleagues and provide a platform to clients seeking to execute transatlantic deals, and the firm offers strong multi-jurisdictional project management capabilities, particularly from its New York base.
