Mathan Navaratnam joined Cadwalader in London as an associate within the Fund Finance practice on January 4.

Mathan has extensive experience advising banks and fund managers regarding cross-border debt financing solutions involving various types of investment funds, such as private equity, secondary, real estate, credit and fund of funds. His experience spans the entire range of fund finance products (including capital call lines, NAV facilities, hybrid facilities, GP and executive support facilities, and secondary leverage products) provided via a number of different structures, including framework and umbrella facilities.

Prior to joining Cadwalader, Mathan was legal counsel to the Investec fund finance team in London (while also providing legal support to Investec’s South African and New York fund finance teams). Before that, he was an associate in Dentons’ London office, where he specialized in fund finance for over five years (including a secondment to the fund finance team of Lloyds Bank plc in London).

His addition follows the recent hires into the Cadwalader London Fund Finance team of Samantha Hutchinson (Partner), Tom Armstrong (Senior Attorney), Amrita Maini (Senior Attorney), and James Hoggett (Associate), who all joined last month.
