The firm’s head of London banking & finance and Global Chair of banking & finance, Bernard Sharp said, “Sébastien’s broad financing experience over the last 9 years and his more specific focus in emerging markets transactions ad leveraged finance, resonates very well with our strengths as a practice, as well as our priorities for growth in London.”

His arrival complements Lynn Rosell’s appointment as partner. Lynn focuses on acquisition finance, in particular cross border and multi-jurisdictional leveraged finance and syndicated lending.
