Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

‘MB's Fund Finance Team is the best in the business. Their advisory of current market standards and ability to articulate the nuances of its credit agreements is unmatched. They also have the deepest bench. There are 5th and 6th year associates on their team that I would prefer to Partners at other firms. Finally, their Senior Partner, Kiel Bowen is always available to weigh in and much more accessible to the client.’
‘Ultimately it comes from the top with Kiel Bowen. Best in class.’
