Our Commercial Finance practice is nationally recognized, and a member of our group is co-general counsel of the Commercial Finance Association (the national trade association of commercial finance lenders). As a result of handling hundreds of significant loan transactions annually, aggregating billions of dollars, we have gained the trust of the largest and most active institutional lenders in the country and have become lender's counsel of choice for numerous national equity sponsors.

We regularly represent banks, commercial finance companies and other institutional lenders in structuring and documenting asset-based and cash-flow loan transactions, including working capital facilities, leveraged acquisitions, mezzanine loans, retail financing, vendor financing, loan restructurings, purchase order financing, equipment leasing, debtor-in-possession financing and the equity aspects of loan transactions. Our lawyers have extensive experience in syndicated credits, representing agent banks and syndicate members alike.

Our attorneys are actively involved in the commercial finance community - three lawyers in the department are Fellows in the American College of Commercial Finance Lawyers, and several are frequent authors and speakers on commercial finance topics.

During the past 10 years, we have represented our clients in scores of international lending transactions in Europe, Asia, and South and Central America, ranging from taking foreign collateral or guaranties to financing cross-border acquisitions involving funding in multiple currencies. A member of our group is one of the drafters of pending United Nations protocols intended to further the development of common international standards for commercial transactions.
