Prague-based Partner Mark Segall has become CMS's new Head of CEE Banking & Finance, taking the role over from Partner Paul Stallebras, who steps back to focus on his own practice at the firm.
Segall joined CMS in 2010 after spending two years at Macfarlanes and three years at Ashurst in London, and then three and a half years as Director, Financial Sponsor Solutions at UniCredit Corporate & Investment Banking, all in London. He specializes in structured trade and commodity finance with an emphasis on the agricultural and natural resources sectors. He is also experienced in advising international clients on cross-border corporate and syndicated finance transactions in Central and Eastern Europe, and CMS describes him as "particularly active in advising international lenders on financings provided to Ukrainian and Russian corporates."
