About A&O Shearman
A&O Shearman was formed in May 2024 by the merger of two historic firms, Allen & Overy and Shearman & Sterling. With nearly 4,000 lawyers globally, we are equally fluent in English law, U.S. law, and the laws of the world’s most dynamic markets. This combination creates a new kind of law firm, one built to achieve unparalleled outcomes for our clients on their most complex, multi-jurisdictional matters – everywhere in the world.
Our lawyers advise on the full spectrum of structured finance transactions and products, including securitizations and CLOs, complex synthetic credit risk and significant risk transfer transactions, equity and illiquid asset financings, collateralized funding platforms, commodity structures, derivative securities, and repackagings.
We advise banks, funds and investors on a wide variety of bespoke and flow repackaging, structured funding and credit risk mitigation transactions using the full range of structured finance techniques.
Our broad product focus enables us to offer end-to-end solutions across the structured finance "toolkit” and makes us trusted advisers to a broad suite of issuers, arrangers, investors, trustees, and agents.
