CMS

CMS is a Future Facing firm. In more than 40 countries and 5,000+ lawyers worldwide, we combine deep local market understanding with a global overview, giving us the ability not only to see what’s coming, but to shape it. In a world of ever-accelerating change where technology is increasingly important in the deployment of global strategies, our clear, business-focused advice helps clients of every size to face the future with confidence. Our securitisation experts advise a very large and well-balanced client base which includes leading investment banks, a large variety of institutional and corporate clients, investors, trustees, management companies and guarantors. We provide comprehensive experience and in-depth knowledge from the perspective of both issuers/originators and banks. We have first-hand experience of the ups and the downs of the industry. This means we can combine state-of-the-art finance expertise with unrivalled industry know-how. This enables us to find tailor-made solutions and get right to the crucial points of a transaction. Our practice is based on very strong and recognised local teams and a network of structured finance lawyers across more than 50 offices all around the world. This network provides our clients with high level and harmonised expertise and services even in jurisdictions where securitisation is still an emerging activity. Thanks to our strong experience in cross-border transactions, we are able to provide responsive advice across Europe and beyond.
