Since the financial crisis, managed cash CLOs have had to contend with numerous complex, often inconsistent and overlapping regulations from across the EU, US and Asia, many of which have been subject to constant change and different interpretations.

Navigating EU, US and Asian risk retention rules, deploying new retention vehicles and understanding US securities laws, Volcker, EMIR, AIFMD and UK CIS rules (and the impact of Brexit), among many other rules and regulations that apply to CLOs, is now more complex than ever. Linklaters has a proven track record of advising investment managers and the world’s largest financial institutions on these rules and regulations, and can offer you the benefit of our broad experience from across our global network. 

We understand the need to be proactive and at times reactive at short notice, and to deliver work seamlessly across our global team on regulatory matters, securities laws issues, risk retention advice, and tax advice. This requires a consistent, senior-orientated deal team and involvement from senior specialists on every transaction, which is part of the service you can expect from us.
