Secondly, advising on issues of asset repackagings and single name, basket and portfolio credit linked notes as well as broader derivatives work.Thirdly, advising on the listing of structured bonds and advising leading financial institutions on major credit events impacting on their credit derivatives portfolios.Additionally Ed has experience of structured finance in Africa which will augment the primarily project finance workfor which the firm is well known.

We are ramping up our capabilities in London and will leverage off both Ed's expertise in CDOs and derivatives in Europe and on our existing CDO capability in London and the rest of Europe. His appointment will also add to the significant experience Dominic Griffiths has in cash-funded CDOs."

To help develop a key part of the firm's structured finance practice is exciting, and this will give me a good chance to work with this team and other parts of the firm.I look forward to working with the group and to extend relationships into the firm's client base in this area."
