Debtwire Recognizes Cahill Among Top Lender Counsel for Western European Banks for 1H 2026

August 7, 2026

Cahill's European Leveraged Finance practice has earned strong recognition across multiple categories in Debtwire's Western Europe legal adviser league tables for the first half of 2026, reflecting the firm's continued investment in its European leveraged finance platform and growing market presence.

Cahill ranked among the leading legal advisers to lead banks across six Western European leveraged loan categories: overall, sponsor-backed, institutional, France, Benelux, and UKI. The results also highlight strong year-over-year growth in Cahill's market position. The firm increased its market share in all six categories and rose to the No. 5 position in the UKI Leveraged Loans (Lead Bank) category, underscoring the continued growth of its lender-side finance practice across Europe.

The rankings follow a significant expansion of Cahill's London office in 2026. The firm welcomed market-leading finance partners Jeremy Duffy, Chair of Cahill's European Leveraged Finance practice and Co-Chair of its Digital Infrastructure Finance practice, Lisa Seifman, Chair of the firm's Real Estate Finance practice and Co-Chair of its Digital Infrastructure Finance practice, and leveraged finance partner Shane McDonald, further strengthening its capabilities across leveraged finance, private credit, real estate finance, and digital infrastructure.
