Securitization & Structured Finance
Innovative Solutions
In today's dynamic and complex world of corporate finance, you need innovative capital market solutions to help you lower the cost of capital, diversify lending sources and improve balance sheet management.
It's not enough to understand the basic asset classes in securitizations or the fundamentals of structured finance. A solid understanding of transactional issues and business ramifications is a must. It also helps to know how to export structuring skills with respect to various asset classes globally. And you had better be ready to deal with esoteric asset classes as well.
At Baker & McKenzie, our Global Securitization and Structured Finance team of more than 130 lawyers has helped securitize billions of dollars of assets — everything from mortgages, credit card receivables and medical equipment leases to government contracts, licensing rights and time-share receivables. With our broad scope of practice and international resources, we specialize in tailoring structures to specific legal, regulatory and tax requirements across a wide range of industries and asset types.
