London—Dentons is pleased to announce that Catriona (Kitty) Lloyd has joined the Firm as a partner in the corporate trust practice within the London Banking and Finance department. She joins the Firm from Linklaters where she was counsel.

Kitty advises bond and security trustees, custodians, cash managers, account banks and other agency providers on a wide range of capital markets products, including Eurobonds, high-yield bonds, Islamic finance and covered bonds, and structured finance products, such as RMBS, CMBS, CLOs and repackaging transactions. She also advises security agents and facility agents on bank financings. In addition, Kitty regularly advises trustees and other agency providers on a wide range of 'post-issue' matters, such as liability management transactions, consent solicitations, exercises of trustee discretion, potential and actual defaults, and restructurings.

Kitty joins a strong corporate trust team which regularly advises leading market participants, working in particular with David Cohen and Matthew Sapte in London, and Maria Livanos and Dave Natter in New York.

Jeremy Cohen, Dentons CEO for the UK and Middle East, said, "We are very pleased to welcome Kitty to the Firm. Kitty's hire complements the recent expansions of our debt capital markets, equity capital markets and structured finance teams in the UK. On the capital markets side, we continue to go from strength to strength following the arrivals of Nick Hayday and Cameron Half earlier this year and the recruitment of Nikolas Colbridge in 2015. In structured finance, Martin Sharkey and Peter Voisey joined the practice in 2016, boosting our CLO and asset-backed securities capabilities, as well as our reputation in the market in this area."

London Head of Banking and Finance Paul Holland added, "Following a number of significant hires over the last couple of years, we offer our clients an unmatched offering across debt and equity capital markets, securitisation, CLOs and structured finance, and Kitty's practice fits perfectly within this.

"Kitty is widely seen as one of the go-to corporate trust lawyers in the City. Her arrival brings our corporate trust practice front and centre, strengthening our position in the market and enabling us to expand further on our work in this area. We are delighted to have Kitty on board."
