Financings
Overview
Our banking and finance practice is a cornerstone of our corporate department. We regularly represent individual and corporate borrowers in connection with a variety of financing transactions, including entering into a new secured credit facility, conducting high-yield debt offerings, or negotiating a refinancing of an existing term loan. We staff these matters with small teams of great lawyers, so our clients receive high-level, creative advice in the most efficient manner.
Critically, we understand that once the debt facility is closed, our clients will have to operate their business within the confines of a maze of restrictive covenants for a number of years. We help our clients think through what their business may look like during the term of their credit, and try to negotiate terms that will give them the flexibility they need to operate their business in the way they want.
Of course, we also understand that lenders require certain restrictions, and so our representation of borrowers does not stop when the credit agreement is signed. Clients rely on us to help them navigate the complex terms of their debt, and to find creative solutions when faced with contractual constraints.
Our financing practice is also often called upon to support the high-stakes work of our litigators. Our deep knowledge of how credit facilities work, from years of negotiating them on behalf of borrowers and providing these borrowers ongoing advice, is frequently drawn upon by the firm’s litigators in connection with their representations involving significant disputes under credit agreements.
