Milbank Ranked #1 European Lender Counsel by 9fin for H1 2026

Milbank LLP has been ranked the #1 lender counsel in Europe in 9fin's private credit law firm league tables for the first half of 2026, placing Milbank among a small group of firms highly ranked for lender-side private credit work on both sides of the Atlantic, in a market where most advisers are concentrated in one.

"The lines between the different forms of private credit are blurring, and private credit and syndicated financings continue to compete directly for the same deals. Processes run in parallel across financing sources, terms and structures — and our clients, and the sponsors they face, expect one team that can execute any of them, with pace and consistency," said Suhrud Mehta, Global Co-Head of Leveraged Finance at Milbank.

The European private credit team includes partners Suhrud Mehta, Alexandra Grant, Sarbajeet Nag, Laura Bonamis and Tristram Gargent, advising direct lenders and credit funds across the capital structure.
