Financial Services

We counsel banks, other lenders and their borrowers in financing transactions, asset securitizations, workouts, debt restructures, Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) issues, bankruptcy, foreclosures, collections and creditors rights cases. Typical financing engagements include commercial real estate loans, working-capital lines of credit to government contractors, asset-based loans, ESOP loans, mezzanine financings, syndicated and single-lender commercial loans, swaps and other interest rate protection agreements, and capital markets transactions. Typical workout and creditors rights representations involve planning, negotiating and documenting debt restructurings to successfully recast debt, secure additional collateral, postpone actions and to resolve bankruptcy and collection issues through negotiation, litigation or a transactional approach.

We represent companies and individuals on a full range of business and corporate matters. Representative transactions include mergers and acquisitions, restructurings, joint ventures, private equity investments, employee incentive and compensation plans, and complex commercial contracts. Typical clients seek our assistance at all stages of growth, from entity selection, to corporate and strategic planning, acquisitions, divestitures, reorganizations, business litigation and all forms of partnership, shareholder and limited liability company agreements. We have extensive experience negotiating and drafting a wide range of commercial contracts, including distribution agreements, supply agreements, customer contracts, software and hardware licenses, employment agreements, leases and financing documents.
