• Represented leading banks across a wide range of banking products (including senior and mezzanine acquisition finance, leveraged finance, structured finance, investment-grade loans, restructurings and workouts) by drafting, reviewing and negotiating documentation and supervising mid-level and junior associates. • Completed a 9-month secondment to the firm’s Frankfurt office and a 7-month secondment to the alternative investment team at Deutsche Bank’s asset management subsidiaries, Deutsch Asset Management and DWS Investments in Frankfurt. I drafted the business plans and helped the group win approval of two new business groups (one in Germany and one in New York) and created a structure that received provisional approval from German financial regulators (BaFin), which would have allowed hedge funds and mutual funds to invest in syndicated loans for the first time anywhere in Europe.
