“Very knowledgeable with very good market coverage.” — Chambers USA
We have extensive experience in both middle-market and large-cap lending transactions, including leveraged acquisition credit facilities. We advise both lenders and borrowers in debt financing transactions up and down the capital stack, including private investment funds, banks, commercial finance companies, business development companies and private equity funds and their portfolio companies.
We also have a wide ranging breadth of transactional expertise including esoteric financing, CLOs, asset backed lending, securitization and fund finance, and are the pre-eminent market leading firm in litigation finance. Additionally, our lawyers have a deep understanding of distressed lending, and have extensive workout, DIP financing and restructuring experience, which lends added value in our advising on the structuring of new loan facilities.
The complexity of our transactional work requires us to draw on the knowledge and experience of attorneys in the firm’s elite investment management, M&A, private equity, litigation, business reorganization and tax groups. We work in close coordination with these groups to provide clients with seamless, comprehensive representation in multidisciplinary matters and to efficiently arrive at creative solutions to unique challenges.
