Thomson Snell & Passmore’s Corporate & Commercial team has appointed banking and finance specialist lawyer Anthony Morton as a partner.
Anthony’s appointment is a key part of ongoing, strategic growth plans for the department, led by Joanne Gallagher.
Anthony will work closely with colleagues across the Corporate M&A and Real Estate Finance teams, advising on a wide range of work including corporate finance, leveraged acquisition finance, asset-based lending, structured finance, refinancings, restructurings, MBOs and private equity.
He brings with him considerable expertise and experience as a finance lawyer, having worked for lenders and borrowers across a range of complex banking and finance transactions.
Anthony has previously spent a number of years with Pinsent Masons as part of its banking and finance team, where he advised on domestic and international projects, with predominantly London-based clients.
Prior to that, he spent six years at Norton Rose Fulbright LLP in both London and Frankfurt, as well as time at US law firm Milbank LLP and Magic Circle firms Linklaters LLP and Allen & Overy LLP (now A&O Shearman).
Joanne Gallagher, Partner and Head of Corporate & Commercial at Thomson Snell & Passmore, said: “Anthony’s deep sector knowledge and extensive experience will further enhance our banking and finance offering for lenders and borrowers, and I am thrilled to welcome him to the firm.
“Our Corporate M&A team continues to go from strength to strength, and Anthony will play a key role in helping us to achieve our ongoing plans for continued growth in the corporate mid-market space.”
