Cadwalader’s Samantha Hutchinson has once again been recognized as an industry leader among the IFLR1000 Women Leaders.
The 2022 annual guide (representing the fifth edition) features “an exclusive group of lawyers with outstanding reputations within their markets who either have expertise and experience of working on complex deals, or who have risen to hold leadership roles with their firms or their practices.”
We are especially proud that Sam is the “Featured Woman Leader” in the guide’s UK section, where she is described as “incredibly well known in the market for her work in fund financing, specifically with subscription and leveraged deals, though she has experience across all fund finance products.”
Congrats to Sam and all the deserving honorees!
Sam Hutchinson: Many of you know that the Cadwalader London fund finance team recently expanded its service offering by bringing on board Mike Hubbard, previously responsible for loan distribution at Lloyds Bank. Whilst this isn’t the first time a law firm has brought banking experience in-house, it is the first time that this has been done in the fund finance industry.
Sam Hutchinson and Michael Hubbard: Many have asked: “Why now and what value does this add?” “Has the Cadwalader London fund finance team moved into the ‘advisory business’?” The second question is easy to answer. No, we haven’t. This expansion isn’t taking us into a new direction or part of a new strategy. It is ensuring our European GP clients receive the best possible service they can to navigate through the fund finance market which is inherently private and which all of our readers we're sure will agree has experienced more innovation in the last three years than our industry has seen in the last 25 years.
