ABOUT DAVID SMITH
Senior structured finance lawyer with deep experience in balance sheet velocity transactions, including Significant Risk Transfers, synthetic CLOs and credit risk insurance structures.Based in the HSBC Legal team in London, I advise on complex structured credit transactions at the intersection of capital management, risk transfer and regulatory discipline. I work closely with front office, risk and treasury stakeholders to deliver technically robust and commercially aligned solutions.I am also one of the early adopters of AI within HSBC Legal, driving the use of AI-enabled analytics in CLO portfolio due diligence and loan-level data interrogation. I work with Legal Operations and AI programme delivery leads to support structured rollout, and act as primary legal liaison with external counsel in the development of data models designed to enhance portfolio analysis and execution efficiency.My focus is on combining technical rigour, commercial judgement and technology-enabled insight to improve legal risk transparency in complex structured credit markets.
