Cadwalader has appointed Andro Atlaga as a partner in its leveraged finance and private credit practice, based in London. Andro joins from another major law firm, where he was part of its leveraged finance group, and brings deep expertise in high-yield bond financings and cross-border capital markets transactions.
Andro advises issuers, underwriters and alternative capital investors on a range of matters including debt liability management, restructurings, IPOs and U.S. securities law. Pat Quinn, managing partner at Cadwalader, said Andro’s experience ‘complements our existing team in a number of areas that are increasingly valuable to our clients’.
Wes Misson, chair of the finance group, added that Andro’s arrival ‘matches perfectly with our recent investments in capital solutions and special situations’. The 2025 Legal 500 UK report praised Andro for being ‘on top of every detail and completely committed to quality deal execution’.
Andro is the seventh partner to join Cadwalader’s London team this year and the tenth firmwide. He said he was ‘delighted to join Cadwalader’ and looked forward to collaborating across private capital, leveraged finance and restructuring, especially with Ed Holmes, a colleague he has worked with previously.
