Jones Day has appointed Lee Federman and Ewen Scott, who will both join the firm’s banking, finance and securities practice in its London office, as part of a continued expansion in key European financial centres.
This follows the hiring of Ben Fox, who recently joined the banking, finance and securities practice in Amsterdam and Michael Fischer, who recently joined the practice in Frankfurt.
Federman brings with him experience in cross-border syndicated financing transactions with a particular focus on leveraged finance and corporate lending.
Scott represents lenders, borrowers and sponsors on a range of cross-border, bilateral and syndicated financings, refinancings and restructurings, on a national and international level, including in emerging markets.
Fox works with clients on a range of financing matters, including secured and unsecured syndicated lending, real estate finance, asset finance, and leveraged transactions.
He also has experience in domestic and cross-border transactions, he represents both lenders and borrowers, and has counselled major international and Dutch financial institutions, alternative capital providers, and other non-bank lenders.
Fischer previously spent seven years as general counsel at UBS Europe in Frankfurt. Previously, he held leading roles with the German financial market stabilisation authority as well as with international hedge funds and asset management companies
Giles Elliott, who co-leads the firm's banking, finance and securities practice, said: "Adding Lee Federman and Ewen Scott, along with Ben Fox and Michael Fischer, to our global team sends a very strong message that Jones Day remains committed to providing our clients access to experienced, effective talent in Europe.”
"Cross-border deals, particularly in the leveraged finance area, are becoming significantly larger and even more complex. All four of these new partners have demonstrated the ability to structure, manage, and close significant transactions on behalf of a client pool that crosses borders and industries. They will be great additions to what is already a very strong global team and I welcome them to Jones Day."
John Phillips, partner-in-charge of Jones Day's London Office, adds: "The addition of Lee and Ewen add great transactions depth and skill to our strong London team. Their broad experience across numerous financing arrangements is a valuable resource for our clients. I look forward to working with them and welcome them to Jones Day."
