Firm continues expansion of global finance practice
Proskauer has announced the arrival of Ben Davis as a partner in the firm’s finance practice in London.
Ben's primary expertise is within the leveraged finance market where he regularly advises on acquisition and leveraged finance facilities, corporate facilities and debt restructurings.
“Alternative lenders in the UK, and globally, require sophisticated legal counsel who truly understand their business objectives and can provide market insight on both sides of the pond. We have successfully, and uniquely, built a deep bench of lawyers with this expertise and we are delighted to have Ben join us to further strengthen the team,” says Steven Ellis, co-head of the multi-tranche finance group.
Focusing on both the mid-market and upper market, Ben has clients including alternative lenders, private equity sponsors, and other financial entities. He has broad experience advising on unitranche loans, second lien facilities, mezzanine and high-yield bonds, as well as real estate finance and litigation funding. His arrival is the latest addition to Proskauer’s strategic growth in the alternative lending and leveraged finance arenas.
“Ben’s experience in leveraged finance matters fits perfectly within our corporate platform in London and globally, where we continue to serve asset managers in their most significant matters,” said Mary Kuusisto, head of the London office.
