Cadwalader strengthens leveraged finance team

Cadwalader has appointed Andro Atlaga as a partner in its London leveraged finance and private credit practice. 

Andro brings extensive experience advising issuers, underwriters and alternative capital investors on international capital markets, cross-border leveraged finance, high-yield bond financings, debt liability management, restructurings, initial public offerings and U.S. securities law matters.

He joins Cadwalader from another major law firm, where he practiced in its leveraged finance group in London.

Andro said: “I’m delighted to join Cadwalader. 

“I believe there are some exciting opportunities to collaborate across private capital, leveraged finance, high-yield debt and restructuring to advance our clients’ strategic goals. 

“I am looking forward to getting started with my new colleagues and with Ed Holmes, who I’ve had the privilege to work with previously.”

Andro is the seventh new partner to join Cadwalader’s London team this year, further strengthening the firm’s capabilities in leveraged finance and related areas.

Cadwalader Finance group chair Wes Misson added: “Andro joining our finance practice will further the growth of our firm’s leveraged finance and private credit team. 

“Additionally, his high-yield bond and debt liability management expertise matches perfectly with our recent investments in Capital Solutions and Special Situations.”
