The London office of US firm Milbank Tweed Hadley & McCloy has closed a hat trick of international financings in the past three months with a value in excess of £1.5bn.

In July, the firm advised Deutsche Bank as arranger, lead manager and placement agent and Deutsche Trustee Company as trustee on the e400m (£278m) Intermediate Finance CLO transaction – Europe’s first CLO to be backed entirely by mezzanine loans.
