SRZ’s structured products & derivatives group has structured and negotiated a variety of complex structured and securitized products on behalf of investment managers, sellers and servicers of assets, issuers, underwriters, placement agents, trustees, purchasers, remarketing agents, investors, credit enhancers and liquidity providers. Our attorneys have acted as “deal counsel” in many market value and cash flow collateralized loan obligations, as well as synthetic collateralized bond obligations. These transactions have involved the securitization of asset-backed securities, high-yield loans and bonds, investment grade corporate debt, credit default swaps and interests in hedge funds. In addition, SRZ is one of the few law firms that has closed a collateralized fund obligation, a financial product that has attracted considerable attention in the financial press. More recently, we have helped several clients seeking to take advantage of the current CDO market conditions through investments in CDOs and CDO managers at unusually attractive prices. In 2007 and 2008, we have assisted numerous clients in restructuring structured investment vehicles, or SIVs.
