Dechert Leads Law Firms on Issuance Value for CRE CLO Transactions in 2021

Dechert is the leading law firm acting as U.S. issuer counsel for CRE CLOs by 2021 issuance value, according to a report by Commercial Mortgage Alert. The report also recognizes Dechert among the top four firms overall acting as counsel to both issuers and underwriters for CRE CLOs and for CMBS.

“We have seen a tremendous increase in issuances, particularly in the CRE CLO market,” says partner Stewart McQueen, who was recently appointed head of Dechert’s CMBS practice. “It is rapidly growing and the outlook remains strong for 2022. There is also some volatility in the current global market, which is where our experience truly comes to bear and where we can add extra value for clients.”

Dechert’s lawyers continue to be at the forefront of market analysis and trends in this space, with recent thought leadership including partner Rick Jones’ blog post “The CRE CLO Unleashed”, available here.
