Debt Finance
Capital investments are often structured as debt or equity. The financings can take many different forms - we can help you determine the most appropriate for your circumstances and advise you on structuring your transaction.
We represent borrowers and lenders in obtaining or providing a wide variety of financing facilities such as:
-
secured and unsecured loans
-
term loans, revolving loans, and asset-backed or asset-based loans
-
warehouse facilities, loan-on-loans, and repo loans
-
forward-flow facilities
-
mortgage loans
-
preferred equity
-
factoring arrangements
We advise on compliance with covenants and representations and warranties and, when necessary, document amendments, default notices, waivers, and forbearance agreements. If a loan is in distress, we conduct perfection reviews and unencumbered collateral analysis.
