Gide’s Securitisation team is recognised as an undisputed leader by arrangers, rating agencies, originators and other interested parties.
Gide was a pioneer in developing securitisation and secured instruments (covered bonds) ever since their first appearance in France. As early as 1988, and later in 1999 (and 2010 - concerning sociétés de financement de l'habitat), our lawyers took an active part in drafting laws and regulations in this area.
The experience of our Securitisation team is unparalleled in terms of the number of transactions, their nature and their magnitude, whether structured in France or abroad, for financial institutions or otherwise.
We offer our clients comprehensive services provided by an integrated and specialised team of French, English and US lawyers based in Paris, London and New York, supported by local expertise from other Gide offices around the world.
Our team is regularly awarded and ranked among the best by international legal directories, namely Chambers, Legal 500 and IFLR1000.
