Sidley Austin Brown & Wood Recruit former Clifford Chance
Head of Securitisation
John Woodhall
October 6, 2003 -London – International law
firm Sidley Austin Brown & Wood is pleased to announce that
John Woodhall, formerly head of the International Securitisation
Group at Clifford Chance, is to join the London office as a partner
in the International Finance Group.
Graham Penn, Co-Head of the International Finance Group, states:
"We are delighted that John has decided to join us. We have
worked with John on a number of transactions over the years and
he is widely recognised as one of the most experienced partners
advising on European-based securitisation transactions. He will
bring significant high level experience to the London office in
relation to the asset classes upon which we currently focus, including
commercial and residential mortgage-backed securitisations, consumer
and trade receivables securitisations, conduit transactions and
true sale and synthetic CLO's and CDO's.
As you will expect of someone who has been active in the securitisation
market in Europe since its inception in the late 1980s, John has
developed an excellent reputation with many of the investment banks
and other institutions who are market leaders in this area of finance.
John will strengthen and deepen our relationships with a large number
of these institutions for whom we already act, and will enable us
to develop new relationships with others. John will also provide
an extremely useful resource as we continue to develop our securitisation
and structured finance practice throughout Europe.
John will continue to advise on a wide range of European-based securitisation
and structured finance transactions. His recruitment continues our
strategy of growth in our chosen areas of practice and will significantly
strengthen our ability to attract additional lateral partners and
assistant solicitors in those areas of practice."
John's recruitment will bring the number of partners in the London
based International Finance Group to seventeen and the total number
of fee earners to more than seventy, the majority of whom focus
upon securitisation transactions.
