“Our goal is to offer exceptional client service in a sector which often provides a ‘one size fits all’ approach,” adds Phillipa White, the Head of Structured Finance at Maples and Calder. “We take a much more tailored approach and our specialist directors and staff have dedicated client relationships which helps us to understand and anticipate our clients’ needs.
