London – Sidley is pleased to announce that Tania Bedi will be joining Sidley’s Global Finance practice as a partner in London. She comes from Latham & Watkins, where she was co-chair of the London Finance Department, and follows the recent arrivals of a team of five Global Finance partners (Jay Sadanandan, Sam Hamilton, Fergus O’Domhnaill, Joe Kimberling, and Ben Wright) as well as two Capital Markets partners (Scott Colwell and Patrick Kwak), also from Latham & Watkins. Ms. Bedi has extensive experience primarily advising sponsors, companies, and borrowers on complex financing arrangements. In addition, she has advised financial institutions, private credit funds, and other lenders on a wide range of transactions. With depth and breadth of experience in structuring and executing some of the most complex and high-value finance transactions in the London and European markets, she has particular focus on leveraged buyouts, acquisition finance, telecom finance, bridge-to-bond financing, general banking, and restructuring transactions. She has been involved in structuring debt packages, drafting, and negotiating facilities agreements, bridge-to-bond facility documentation, inter-creditor deeds, and security documents. “I am excited about Tania joining us as her arrival once more reinforces our commitment to our global private equity clients to offer them a premier platform for all their financing needs,” said Brian Fahrney, Chair-elect of Sidley’s Executive Committee and Global co-leader of Sidley’s M&A and Private Equity practice group. “Tania has previously worked closely with seven of our most recent finance and capital market partner arrivals in London, which will create a seamless transition for our clients.” “Tania has a wealth of experience in complex and high value finance transactions, making her a highly regarded lawyer in the leveraged and complex finance space for sponsors and other clients,” said Tom Thesing, managing partner of Sidley’s London office and a member of Sidley’s Management and Executive Committees. “Tania is another significant partner addition as we continue to build out our capabilities in London given its importance as a key financial hub for cross-border transactions for our clients.” Sidley’s London office, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, continues to attract some of the leading practitioners in the market as it expands its work for private equity sponsors with the recruitment of Ramy Wahbeh, Kaisa Kuusk, Clive Gringras, James MacArthur, Ed Freeman, Ben Thompson, and Kieran Sharma.
