We will look at the key items to consider when working on sovereign capital markets transactions. How do documentation standards, governing law, and listing/clearing choices affect execution?  What is the latest thinking about “collective action clauses”?  What happens when things go wrong, including acceleration, cross default and restructuring pathways?  What are the key elements of an effective immunity waiver clause?

We will discuss these concepts, and many others, in practical terms.

We will also cover novel techniques and trends our team has been advising on at Mayer Brown, including bespoke liability management exercises such as switch tender offers, debt-for-impact transactions, and considerations for sovereign sukuk issuers.
