Corporate lending. We guide and manage all aspects of complex financings, including structuring, proposal and commitment, due diligence, negotiation, closing, and loan portfolio management. Our broad-based finance experience includes senior, subordinated, secured, and unsecured credit facilities; syndicated, club and bilateral financings; and mezzanine financings. Our national corporate lending team advises clients in connection with cash-flow, asset-based, and split-lien transactions; leveraged buyouts; and acquisition financings. We have worked with middle-market lenders and borrowers in the finance, manufacturing, agricultural and food products, telecommunications, and transportation industries.
Commercial real estate. Our team provides end-to-end real estate-secured transaction assistance, including construction, mini-perm, term, and mezzanine lending. We have broad experience with many asset types across the United States, including apartment complexes, shopping centers, industrial buildings, office buildings, hotels, mixed-use developments, self storage facilities, senior living projects, and manufactured housing communities.
Development Incentives & Tax Credits. Our team is on the leading edge of development incentives and tax credits, including New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC) and Opportunity Zones. To learn more about these areas, please see our Development Incentives & Tax Credits and Opportunity Zone pages.
HUD. Our team includes attorneys who have worked at the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development and we regularly handle HUD transactions across the country.
Specialty finance. Our team is experienced with lending transactions involving nontraditional or unique businesses and collateral, such as coal mines and reserves; energy-related services; fleets of titled vehicles; documented vessels; corporate aircraft and fleets of commercial aircraft; environmentally sensitive assets such as landfills, intellectual property, wind farms, ethanol production facilities, distribution centers, and power plants; propane and natural gas inventory; agricultural products; and casinos.
Equipment finance. We advise clients across diverse industry and equipment sectors. Our team represents originators and purchasers, and understands the sales, syndications, and participations of equipment leases and financing portfolios. We provide meaningful and creative solutions when faced with a wide array of financing issues.
Floor plan financing. We advise both national and regional lenders in negotiating, documenting, and securing floor plan loans and loan programs to automobile dealers; construction equipment dealers; commercial vehicle/transportation vehicle dealers; and dealers in the recreational vehicle, marine, outdoor products, tech, and music industries, both as stand-alone facilities and including asset-based revolving credit facilities.
Capital Markets. We represent institutional investors in various large cap syndications, including debt trades. We understand the economic pressures and desire to contain costs in these transactions and have developed a sophisticated practice by quickly and efficiently analyzing large-cap transaction documents for investors seeking a high-level determination of “term sheet compliance” and to discover “fatal flaw” issues.
