Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe Strengthens London Structured Finance Team with Two Asset-Backed Securitization Partners
"Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe adds partners Suzanne Bell and William Bibby to its London Structured Finance team to work on asset-backed securitization, including ABS, NAV credit facilities, residential mortgage and consumer finance securitizations."
Suzanne Bell is a Chambers and Legal 500 ranked asset‑backed securitizations (ABS) practitioner. She is recognized for extensive experience advising on a wide spectrum of traditional and esoteric cross‑border structured finance transactions, including NAV credit facilities. She will join Orrick as a partner from Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft.
William Bibby is a Chambers rising star whose UK and cross‑border expertise spans residential mortgage and other consumer finance warehouse and securitization transactions. He will join Orrick as a partner from Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft.
These hires follow the addition in October of a 40‑lawyer transatlantic collateralized loan obligation (CLO) and asset‑backed lending team to Orrick’s debt finance platform, and are intended to complement the firm’s top‑tier U.S. ABS and esoterics offering and to deepen its comprehensive debt finance capabilities. Orrick was ranked the No. 3 global CLO arranger counsel by volume for 2025 in both Europe and the U.S. and holds more Chambers Band 1 and 2 rankings across securitization asset classes in the United States and UK than any other firm.
