Finance & Capital Markets (International & Cross-Border)

Chambers Review

Combining a well-established London team with a top-tier New York practice, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett is renowned for handling complex cross-border work with a strong focus on transactional mandates. The London office provides clients with impressive experience in large international M&A, cross-border financing and a strong focus on the private equity sector. The UK team is primarily responsible for the firm's work and clients across Europe, as well as working in conjunction with lawyers in the law firm's principal hub of resources in New York, which means it is chiefly engaged on high-value international work.

The London team provides an important touchpoint for major US and global private equity firms and alternative lenders, ensuring reliable support on high-value international lending. The London team also provides strong expertise in high-yield products, and regularly coordinates with the New York office on structuring transatlantic deals. Serving as the firm’s European platform, the UK office provides high-end transactional advisory support and coordinates local law advice in different jurisdictions with a select group of national firms.
