Latham’s Capital Strategies group encompasses our market-leading practices in private credit, banking and finance, capital markets, hybrid capital, liability management, and restructuring. The mission of our Capital Strategies group is to use our Chambers Band 1 excellence across practices to deliver on our clients’ core capital needs and goals, no matter what expertise is required. No law firm works on more capital transactions than we do, and we use that scale to give our clients an edge.

Latham’s Capital Strategies group is led by six practice chairs, each widely respected in their disciplines, with decades of experience and deep market connections. The leadership team ensures a coordinated approach to client needs across the capital spectrum.

We go far beyond executing sophisticated transactions — as a firm, we are shaping how capital is raised, structured, and leveraged across every product and market. This is how we empower clients – whether we are representing a public company, board, asset management investment committee, private equity sponsor, private credit fund, or financial institution — to set priorities, anticipate consequences, see around corners, and seize new opportunities with clarity and confidence.

A Higher Caliber of Counsel

We advise on the highest volume of deals across each segment of the capital structure, and our scale and experience is a strategic advantage for clients. Our depth and scale provide institutional knowledge and real-time market intelligence that help clients make better-informed capital decisions.

Whether navigating a challenging cross-border acquisition financing, complex refinancing, evaluating hybrid instruments, navigating distress, or pivoting between products, clients benefit from our ability to synthesize the data, insights, and institutional relationships that only market-leading volume makes possible.

Market Connectivity That Drives Business Impact

We are more than advisors — we are strategic partners and connectors. 

We have broader relationships across the capital spectrum than any other law firm, giving clients access to opportunities and introductions that help drive deals. We foster powerful partnerships not only with our clients, but between our clients, unlocking value through our unique position at the center of public and private markets.

We use our 360-degree view of public and private markets to drive and capitalize on innovation in real time — pioneering structures that become market standards, advising on high-stakes deals that shape industries, and turning creative thinking into commercial results. 

Strategic Advisor Across the Full Capital Structure

With unrivaled capabilities across every product — from investment grade debt, syndicated lending, and capital markets to hybrid capital, direct lending, liability management, and restructuring — we assemble best-in-class teams for any situation, fully integrated and aligned. 

Our seamless structure reflects the interconnected nature of finance, delivering fully integrated capital strategies.
