Jones Day has made a major push into the London high yield debt market with the capture of Ropes & Gray finance partner Jonathan Bloom.

Bloom, who joins Jones Day's capital markets practice on Wednesday (3 September), was one of the leaders of Ropes' global high yield practice and boasts a notable stable of funds clients including BlackRock, KKR Asset Management, and Vision Capital.

Qualified under New York law, Bloom will work alongside Jones Day finance partner Drew Salvest, who advises on a range of securities products.
