Cadwalader has been shortlisted by the Financial Times in the “Practice of Law: Overcoming barriers to finance” category for its work on the first CRE CLO in Europe since the financial crisis, as part of the publication’s forthcoming FT Innovative Lawyers Europe 2022 awards and report.
Cadwalader advised Credit Suisse as arranger and placement agent on the Starz CRE CLO, which represents dual currency notes backed by a pool of 9 loans originated by Starz Real Estate and secured on 17 properties in the UK, Spain, The Netherlands, and Ireland, spanning a broad range of sectors, including multi-family, industrial, logistics, storage, retail and hotels.
The transaction was recently recognized as part of the structured finance and securitization “Team of the Year” award at the International Financial Law Review (IFLR) 2022 Europe Awards.
Cadwalader’s transatlantic team, led by partners David Quirolo, Nick Shiren, Jeffrey Rotblat and Sabah Nawaz, also included partners Adam Blakemore, Catherine Richardson, James Frazier and Adam Risell; senior counsel Maurine Bartlett; and associates Jinisha Patel, Aaron Kennedy, Maria Geraghty, Edward Morphett and Nicole Schapira.
