About Liam J. Leyden
I am a senior in-house transactional lawyer advising on complex financing, capital markets, derivatives, and investment transactions at a leading global (re)insurance group. In my current role, I serve as a trusted legal partner to Finance/Treasury and Investments functions, counseling senior leaders through transaction execution, including structuring, negotiation, risk allocation, governance, and ongoing compliance. My work spans public and private debt transactions, credit facilities, derivatives, fund investments, and investment management arrangements across multiple jurisdictions. I am known for a commercial, pragmatic approach, sound business judgment, and composure under pressure. I focus on driving complex transactions to execution, helping business teams manage legal risk and delivering positive outcomes. Earlier in my career, I practiced as a corporate associate in a large law firm, where I focused on borrower-side financings and strategic M&A transactions.
