Investment funds 

“Exceptional service and commercial approach. They support us and onshore counsel as we lead a large syndicate of lenders on transactions across multiple jurisdictions. Their DD report in particular is very thorough and user friendly, and the partner in charge is always a phone call away for any question or issue.”
