New York – Mayer Brown announced today that Joanna Suna has joined the firm as a partner in its Banking & Finance and collateralized loan obligations (CLO) groups in the New York office.
“Joanna has significant experience advising issuers, underwriters, portfolio managers, and monoline insurers on CLOs, securities repackagings and other types of complex structured products,” said Ryan Suda, partner in Mayer Brown’s Banking & Finance practice. “Her breadth and depth of experience in CLO transactions and other structured products will be of tremendous value to clients, and we are thrilled to have her join Mayer Brown.”
Joanna represents issuers, underwriters and portfolio managers covering a wide range of transactional and regulatory issues involving CLOs, securities repackagings, and other types of complex structured products. As lead lawyer on these transactions, she has assisted clients in negotiating and structuring all legal aspects of the transaction through the full deal life-cycle, including origination, warehousing, structuring, distribution, execution, closing, post-closing, and liquidation. Joanna has negotiated and resolved transaction issues with third-party deal participants, including collateral managers, key investors, rating agencies, monolines, and other counsel and has analyzed and provided solutions to legal issues including securities laws, tax, and ERISA considerations. She is also experienced in different types and uses of swaps in such transactions, as well as in warehousing and funding facilities and secondary repackagings of related products.
“I was especially drawn to Mayer Brown’s depth and quality of legal services and international platform,” said Joanna. “I look forward to handling CLOs at the highest level with talented lawyers across Mayer Brown’s various offices and practices to build upon the firm’s established Banking & Finance practice and esteemed reputation in client service.”
“We are relentless in our focus on high caliber lateral hires that align with our global growth plans,” said Allison Aviki, managing partner of Mayer Brown’s New York Office. “Joanna will bolster our positioning as a firm with top level CLO and Banking & Finance practices in New York and further enhance our excellent support for clients with complex transactions.”
