Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP received honourable mention for “North American Law Firm of the Year” at Structured Credit Investor’s (SCI) Capital Relief Trades Awards 2021. Honorees were chosen by a SCI editorial team, which put together a shortlist and then researched and sought feedback from an industry advisory panel.

Hunton Andrews Kurth was recognized in particular for its work and experience in the Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSE) and credit risk transfer (CRT) markets. The firm represents the dealers in all of Freddie Mac’s STACR offerings and has provided advice in connection with the evolution of the program to an actual loss payment structure, as well as the transition from direct debt to trust and REMIC issuances. Additionally, the firm represents the underwriters and initial purchasers in all of the Freddie Mac Seasoned Credit Risk Transfer Trust (SCRT) transactions, as well as the structuring agent and lead manager on Freddie Mac’s Multifamily Structured Credit Risk (SCR) Debt Notes transactions. 

Meanwhile, Hunton Andrews Kurth is tax structuring counsel for Fannie Mae’s CAS program for both single family and multifamily transactions. The firm’s CRT experience also includes representing initial purchasers in structuring deals for private mortgage insurers that transfer the risk of loss under mortgage insurance policies, which – in turn - provides reinsurance credits under the GSE Private Mortgage Insurer Eligibility Requirements (PMIERs) capital requirements.

The firm, along with other honorees, was honored at the SCI awards ceremony on October 13, 2021. View the full list of honorees.
