Baker & McKenzie has won a lead role advising UBS on the €800m (£637m) securitisation of a portfolio of Piraeus Bank’s residential mortgages.

The deal, which closed earlier this month, saw UBS acting as sole arranger and lead manager on the Greek bank’s securitisation. London structured capital markets partner Vincent Keaveny took the lead role for UBS, with tax partner James MacLachlan advising on all tax aspects of the transaction.
