Milbank LLP Structured Finance partner Sean M. Solis was honored with Lexology’s 2019 Client Choice Award for Securitization & Structured Finance in New York at a gala dinner in London on February 7, 2019. Named the exclusive winner of this year’s award, Mr. Solis is described by clients as “a cutting-edge expert in his field” and “insightful, proactive and a great communicator”; his clients highlighted his commitment to delivering unparalleled client service. They stated that he “goes above and beyond his responsibilities to clients” and “is always able to deliver great quality service, no matter how tight the time frame is” and said that he is “a good lawyer at his core; he has a deep understanding of structured finance and securitization matters,” and he “makes his advice and time available in a way none of his peers have rivalled.”
Now in its fourteenth year, the Client Choice Awards recognizes partners from around the world whose superb client service sets them apart from other attorneys. Award recipients are selected based on assessments submitted by clients and include rating attorneys on client service criteria such as quality legal advice, industry knowledge, value for money, loyalty and ethics.
A leading collateralized loan obligation (CLO) and structured finance attorney, Mr. Solis focuses his practice on structured products and other similar capital markets transactions, the formation and representation of credit funds, and capital markets regulation, with a focus on the risk retention regulations in both the EU and US. He joined Milbank in May 2018 and has bolstered the capabilities of Milbank’s global CLO team, which is one of the world’s largest teams of CLO attorneys across the United States and Europe and has been at the forefront of credit arbitration since the inception of CLOs in the late 1980s.
