Winner: Ashurst
Runners up: Allen & Overy; Baker & McKenzie; Gide Loyrette Nouel; Linklaters; White & Case
To say there has been turmoil in capital markets would perhaps win an award for understatement of the year. These extraordinary times have placed new demands on lawyers, and the finalists demonstrated that they have what it takes to help clients through the turbulence. The judges hailed the way Allen & Overy's (A&O's) capital markets team has adapted to the downturn. Much of A&O's recent work has involved crisis management, whether restructuring transactions, making existing structures more resilient or advising on derivatives and structured finance. A&O has been particularly active in the structured investment vehicles field and the covered bond market, while its equity capital markets work includes advising Imperial Tobacco on a £4.9bn rights issue, the second largest underwritten issue in the UK ever.
