“The geographical reach, the skilled lawyers strengthened further by the recent hires and the strategic vision at Squire Patton Boggs, all point to it being the perfect platform for a market-leading international structured credit and private capital practice. I look forward to working with Jim, Gabriel, Monica and my colleagues around the world on this exciting opportunity,” said Mr. Basu.
