Summary
Robert Chiang is an associate in Sidley Austin’s Global Finance group based in New York, bringing 13 years of analytic and cross-disciplinary experience to complex lending, structured finance, and asset-backed securitization matters. He pairs a Juris Doctor from the University of Toronto with a mathematical background (BMath in Combinatorics & Optimization from University of Waterloo) and international exposure from a Kyoto exchange and teaching in Fukushima, giving him uncommon fluency in both quantitative reasoning and Japanese communication. Prior roles span hands-on software engineering and research—experience that sharpens his contract drafting and problem-solving when dealing with technical deal structures and documentation. Known for representing borrowers, lenders, issuers, sponsors, and underwriters, he blends transactional pragmatism with rigorous academic training to navigate multifaceted finance transactions.
