Herbert Smith has announced
that it has recruited Jake Jackaman
GO TO HIS BIOGRAPHY, a highly regarded structured finance and
debt capital markets specialist, to its international finance practice.
He joined the
firm on 23 September.
 Jake, 37, joins from White & Case where he had been a finance partner in its
London office since 2000. While there he concentrated on mainstream and
structured capital markets work, with a particular recent focus on collaterised
debt obligations (CDOs) and portfolio credit default swaps. Prior to White &
Case he spent eight years at Clifford Chance, including four in the firmÍs New
York office.
Over the last two years he has advised on a series of notable and often complex
transactions. These include the Cheyne Investment Grade CDO for Morgan Stanley;
single name and portfolio credit linked products for Morgan Stanley and Merrill
Lynch; the securitisation of a vendor financing, on which he acted for Tokyo
Mitsubishi International; and the debut Rule 144A eurobond for Rosneft, on which
he acted for ABN AMRO and Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein.
The hire is consistent with Herbert SmithÍs aim of becoming one of the top
finance practices in London, and its open intent to increase senior-level
resources as a step to achieving this.
It also reflects one of the practiceÍs key priorities over the past two years:
to develop its debt capital markets capability. Successes include the
recruitment of Jane Borrows, acting for the first time for lead managers and
increasing its track record of working for originators.
Clive Barnard, head of the international finance practice, commented:
ñWeÍre delighted to have attracted someone of JakeÍs calibre. Jake brings with
him valuable investment bank contacts, international experience and a reputation
among clients and colleagues as a very bright and gifted lawyer.
His hire underlines the commitment of the practice and the firm to establishing
ourselves as a top-tier finance player in London. We anticipate being able to
announce further senior-level recruitments to the practice in due course.î
