In our role as counsel to lenders and borrowers, we have helped our clients close a large number of sophisticated, high-profile financing transactions. Our attorneys are typically involved in every aspect of these transactions, including structuring, negotiation, due diligence, documentation, lien creation and perfection, subordination, and related matters.

Among the particular areas in which we have expertise are:

• Senior secured credit facilities

In addition to conventional commercial lending, we have also represented clients with respect to more complex transactions, including credit and liquidity support devices in connection with securitizations of mortgage loans, automobile loans and leases, equipment leases and other assets. We have the market experience and legal capability to structure and negotiate transactions to meet the requirements of lenders, borrowers and other transaction participants.
