Lending Transactions

Lending transactions are a principal focus of our banking practice. We are experienced in various types of transactions involving the wide array of assets that serve as collateral, such as accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, real estate, commodities, securities and other investment property, partnership and limited liability company interests, commitments to contribute capital, intellectual property rights, and other intangibles. The borrowers are in diverse industries, including financial institutions, manufacturers, healthcare companies, retailers, REITs, jewelers, agricultural producers, and management companies. Our business clients frequently retain the firm when arranging for bank borrowings or other extensions of credit.  As a result, our perspective encompasses the concerns of borrowers as well as those of lenders. The lending transactions that we regularly handle include bilateral and syndicated loans and the borrowers range in size from large companies to middle market companies and individuals.
