Ari Blaut, Co-Head of S&C’s Capital Solutions Practice, spoke with Law.com about the continued growth of capital solutions and liability management transactions.
Ari noted that demand for liability management solutions remains strong, describing the practice area as “a rocket ship” that has grown at an exponential rate. He emphasized the importance of careful front-end planning and clear client communication when handling LME transactions. “We do bring in conflict counsel on a lot of our LME deals, and we are very careful when we take on these matters in making sure clients know what conflict counsel is there to do, what we can and can’t do from a conflicts perspective, and to make sure we comply with our engagement letters,” he said.
