Commercial Finance
We advise lending clients on the origination, structuring, documentation, and negotiation of financing transactions, including single-lender, syndicated, and structured loans, as well as note purchase agreements, conduit financings, and other lending structures. The team regularly negotiates and documents co-lender and intercreditor arrangements in multi-tranche and unitranche transactions. In the digital assets space, our attorneys counsel clients on structuring secured loans backed by crypto or tokenized assets and on establishing and perfecting security interests in digital assets under UCC Articles 9 and 12.
Our attorneys have represented commercial banks, debt funds, SBICs, insurance companies, commercial and consumer finance companies, business development companies, and private equity firms.
Longstanding relationships with national, regional, and local financial institutions allow us to stay closely attuned to industry trends affecting lenders, borrowers, and other finance parties. We assist financial institution clients with the development of form documentation and practical “how-to” guides, and we also represent a broad range of businesses as borrowers in commercial financings, including publicly traded companies, founder-owned businesses, and private equity portfolio companies.
Lawyers in the practice work closely with colleagues in the firm’s Business and Transactions Department and across other practice groups to marshal the appropriate resources and experience for each matter.
