CMBS: Our Track Record June 2022
Arthur Cox is at the forefront of the Irish securitisation market, acting on almost all large scale mortgage securitisations and CMBS using Irish SPVs. We are a leading adviser on the establishment of Irish securitisation vehicles for international and domestic banks, financial institutions and private equity clients and provide assistance on the structural, tax and regularity issues that impact the establishment and ongoing management of such vehicles. We also act as listing agent on a large number of asset-backed securitisations by non-Irish securitisation and structured finance vehicles.
We have been at the forefront of the Irish securitisation market since the beginning, acting on the first ever mortgage securitisation in Ireland and the first public CMBS. We are a leading adviser on international transactions and advise on the establishment of Irish securitisation vehicles for a wide variety of internationally-originated securitisation and structured finance transactions. We also advise on a large number of listings for ABS issued by non-Irish securitisation and structured finance vehicles. We consider ourselves to be the leading firm in CMBS. We have advised on a number of recent CMBS deals using Irish issuance vehicles. We have also advised on the establishment of commercial warehouse lending arrangements for non-bank CRE lenders.
