Complex, cross-border deal

Jacqueline Richomme and Martin Eccles advised on a new Jersey structure to facilitate an Asian investment in the European leveraged debt market.

We advised a leading global bank headquartered in the UK on the establishment of a Jersey investment structure with initial subscriptions exceeding € 2 billion to facilitate the investment by an Asian investor in the European leveraged debt market. This innovative deal could mark a new trend as the novel structure opens the European leveraged debt risk pool to new participants seeking a spread of risk across the market rather than individual sub-participations.
