Hogan Lovells has taken the lead role on French asset manager Amundi's two recent multibillion-euro asset-backed note programmes issued on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

The instruction, which came through the transatlantic firm's Paris office, saw the establishment of a €10bn (£8.3bn) English law programme and a €10bn French law programme, which will be used to invest in secured structured products through a single Luxembourg securitisation vehicle.

The English law programme was led by Paris-based debt capital markets (DCM) head Sharon Lewis and the French law programme led by DCM partner Philip Boys, with DCM partner Baptiste Gelpi, tax partner Xenia Legendre and London capital markets partner Kit Johnson also involved.

Luxembourg law advice on both programmes was provided by Benelux firm Bonn Steichen & Partners, which has a referral link to Hogan Lovells, with capital markets partner Laurent Lazard heading up the team.

Lewis commented: "We provided dual law advice involving our English law and French law structured finance teams in Paris, with programme documentation closely aligned to each other but for their governing laws and respective language."

Amundi is an asset management company jointly created by Credit Agricole and Societe Generale.
