The firm was recognized as the top lender counsel for private credit deals, across the United States and Europe

Milbank LLP secured top rankings in 9fin’s inaugural private credit law firm league tables for the first half of 2025. The publication’s global rankings measure how legal advisors compare on both lender and borrower mandates in the United States and Europe. Milbank was notably highlighted as the leading lender counsel law firm for direct lending deals across both sides of the Atlantic, with 50 eligible deals overall. 

  • Milbank was #1 – Lender Counsel rankings (across the US and Europe)
  • Milbank was #2 – Total Deals (across the US and Europe) 

Led by co-heads Marcus Dougherty in New York and Suhrud Mehta in London, Milbank’s Global Leveraged Finance team of partners, special counsel and associates, distinguishes itself as one of the few firms with a deep bench having the market knowledge and experience to handle both private credit financings and syndicated financings.
