Regional Capabilities

Dentons’ US Capital Markets practice has been at the forefront of securitization and structured finance for more than three decades. Our highly-regarded team represents virtually every banking and financial institution in the financing, purchase and securitization of financial assets. We also represent every type of market participant, including issuers, underwriters, investors, liquidity providers, lenders, conduits, trustees, servicers and originators in the US and beyond.

Trust in a team that has traditionally ranked in the top one or two law firms for issues and underwriter securitization and engagements in the US, and remains a market leader notwithstanding the difficult economic environment. Clients note that our Capital Markets practice wields “a good set of expertise across the board” in Chambers USA, which praises the team “as a formidable force across the full range of MBS and ABS transactions. It is frequently a favored choice for market participants on RMBS matters.”

You need more than just a law firm that can execute a deal today. You need a trusted counselor with a vision for the way forward in the capital markets. You need a partner who can adapt to thinner deal margins and who can share in the risk of a deal not closing. You need a firm that maintains its leading position by adapting its service lines to the changing needs of the marketplace. You need a firm that has a brand and prominence to help win engagements, so that you can stay on the cutting edge.

You will be supported by an experienced team who regularly advises many of the major financial institutions around the world. Benefit from our global reach -- our US Capital Markets team is supported by numerous dedicated professionals in the areas of domestic and international tax, derivatives, general securities law, entity formation, the US Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), bankruptcy and reorganization, public policy, insurance regulatory and real estate.
