Lovells is shortlisted for Banking & Finance Team of the Year and Pro Bono Team of the Year in The Lawyer magazine's 2009 Awards. The winners will be announced at a dinner on 23 June in London.
Banking & Finance Team of the Year
This nomination recognises the development of our market-leading practice for advising on complex, distressed structured finance transactions, including, most notably, distressed structured investment vehicles (SIVs). We have advised on more SIV structures than any other firm, with standout deals including the restructuring of SIV Portfolio plc (in receivership), a US$7 billion investment vehicle formerly known as Cheyne Finance plc.
Pro Bono Team of the Year
Since April 2007, we have contributed more than 475 hours to pro bono work in support of ParalympicsGB, a tremendous effort that has involved more than 26 lawyers from our offices in London, Beijing and Hong Kong. Achievements included providing advice on a wide range of commercial and legal issues in the lead-up to the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing, as well as on-site legal advice, in conjunction with the Beijing and Hong Kong offices, during the Games.
