Our leading securitisation and structured finance team advises across the full spectrum of securitisation and adjacent funding, capital relief and risk transfer programmes, structured and fund level debt financing.
We act for originators and borrowers at every stage of their development, from new market entrants such as fintechs and private credit funds with inaugural programs and funding rounds, to established private equity and private credit funds with mature treasury needs. We also advise investors including bank and non-bank lenders at all levels of the capital stack, arrangers, joint lead managers and dealers, swap providers, note trustees and other transaction parties.
Our work spans covered bonds, warehouse facilities, net asset value (NAV) facilities, hybrid structure combining warehouse, NAV and subscription line structures, term securitisations, margin lending facilities, private placements, forward flow structures, whole loan sales, bank/private credit partnerships, significant risk transfer (SRT) structures, GP financings and bespoke financings for separately managed account (SMA) funds.
Our team is recognised as one of Australia’s leading firms in the private capital financing market, based on fund financing transaction volume and related total debt value. As securitisation and fund financing structures continue to converge, our integrated offering provides a single-team solution for these transactions.
We combine technical excellence with a pragmatic, commercially focused approach that is calibrated to the Australian regulatory environment. Our deep bench of experienced lawyers are recognised in leading legal directories including Chambers Asia-Pacific, The Legal 500 Asia Pacific and IFLR1000 for their ability to distil complex structured finance concepts into clear, actionable advice and to deliver solutions tailored to each client’s funding needs and risk appetite.
Our experience covers a broad range of asset classes, including prime and non-conforming residential mortgages (RMBS), commercial mortgages (CMBS), auto and equipment loan and other asset-backed securities (ABS), collateralised loan obligations (CLOs), insurance premium funding, personal loans and credit cards, trade receivables, SME lending, buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) and other emerging asset classes. We also advise on APRA-regulated entities’ securitisation programmes, structured covered bond programmes, portfolio and business sales and their linked financing structures.
