Cahill Once Again Earns Top Rankings in Bloomberg High Yield Bond and Leveraged Lending League Tables for the First Half of 2026
July 6, 2026
Cahill’s Capital Markets and Banking & Finance practices continued to secure top ranking across multiple categories in the Bloomberg Capital Markets and Leveraged Lending legal adviser league tables for the first half of 2026.
Driven by significant landmark data center financing deals in the first half of the year, Cahill ranks #1 in U.S. High Yield Corporate Bonds by volume, generating more than $52 billion in proceeds and capturing nearly 30% of the market. The firm's role on many of the largest and most innovative digital infrastructure financings drives its leadership position in one of the fastest-growing sectors of the market. Cahill has held a dominant market position in U.S. High Yield Corporate Bonds since 2005.
The firm expects continued deployment of sophisticated financing strategies to support data center development, alongside strong deal flow across both the United States and EMEA, in 2026 and beyond. Deal highlights include:
- Meridian Arc HoldCo’s $5.7 billion notes offering, financing the development of data center facilities in Sullivan County, Indiana. This transaction represents the largest high-yield bond offering for a data center financing to date.
- SV RNO Property Owner 1’s $3.65 billion notes offering to support Tract Capital’s and Fleet Data Centers’ 200 MW data center project in Storey County, Nevada.
- Black Pearl Compute’s $2.0 billion notes offering related to a 300 MW data center project in Wink, Texas.
Cahill also maintains its #1 ranking in U.S. Leveraged Finance, a distinction it has maintained for more than 15 consecutive years – reinforcing the firm's long-standing leadership and unmatched track record in the leveraged finance market.
