Freshfields has appointed Andrew Hagan as a partner in its market leading high yield practice. Andrew is currently a partner at Kirkland and Ellis in London.
He will join the firm this spring, working alongside Co-Head of European Leveraged Finance Ward McKimm as part of the high yield focused partner team.
‘We are delighted to welcome Andy to Freshfields’ commented David Trott, Freshfields’ Global Finance Group Head. ‘The firm is rightly regarded as a first choice for European high yield transactions and Andy’s experience and expertise will ensure that we continue to develop our market-leading leveraged finance platform and to offer clients a first-class high yield capability.’
The Freshfields high yield team is part of the firm’s wider leveraged finance group and acts on transactions in a range of situations, including leveraged buyouts, debt financings and refinancings by corporate issuers and debt restructurings.
‘Freshfields has an unrivalled client list throughout its offices, with private equity, corporate and leveraged finance capabilities that are second to none in the legal market,’ Andrew Hagan commented. ‘The experience of these teams – and the quality and breadth of the firm’s product offerings – are exceptional. Freshfields has fast become the go-to firm for global financial investors and other clients who increasingly look for a “one-firm” solution across the corporate and financing aspects of their transactions. I am very much looking forward to helping the firm continue to grow its high yield and overall leveraged finance capabilities.’
