Practice / Debt Finance
Debt Finance
Accessing capital is critical to growth. We advise borrowers, sponsors, and lenders on the full spectrum of debt financing transactions, from syndicated credit facilities to mezzanine loans, asset-based lending, and acquisition financings.
What the work involves
Credit facilities
Senior secured and unsecured revolvers and term loans, syndicated and bilateral—commitment letters, credit agreements, security and guarantee packages, and the closing mechanics.
Acquisition and leveraged financings
Debt financing for M&A transactions, including coordination with the purchase agreement timeline, funds-certain provisions, and lender diligence.
Mezzanine, ABL, and structured debt
Mezzanine loans, asset-based facilities, unitranche structures, and intercreditor and subordination arrangements among capital providers.
Workouts and amendments
Waivers, amendments, forbearance agreements, and restructurings when circumstances change—for borrowers and lenders alike.

How engagement & billing typically works
Financing engagements are scoped to the facility and coordinated with any related transaction timeline. We agree the fee structure before work begins and staff the deal with senior attorneys who handle this work full time.
The above describes the kinds of matters this practice handles generally; it is not a representation about any particular engagement or outcome. Every transaction is different — tell us about yours.
