Informed by practical, industry-specific experience advising private credit lenders, our insights deliver value that transcends documentation of the transaction.

Our lawyers represent private credit fund managers and other traditional and non-bank lenders, BDCs and other registered investment companies, SBICs, rating agencies, borrowers and institutional investors in thousands of financings involving a wide range of businesses and industries. This breadth of experience is matched with depth in each of the following areas:

- Structured Finance
- Special Situations and Restructuring
- Investment Management
In each of these categories of private credit we leverage a deep bench of lawyers across supporting areas such as environmental, ERISA, intellectual property, real estate, international trade, labor, tax, bankruptcy, securities, M&A, and bank regulatory.
Key players on both the investor and borrower side trust us to efficiently negotiate transaction documents, identify and mitigate risks, and stay informed of market trends. Our teams are equipped with a 360° perspective and strong working relationships that facilitate a smooth transaction. Specific strength in the middle market gives us a nuanced understanding of the investor goals, lender requirements, and competitive landscapes that are unique to the middle market compared to widely syndicated transactions.
