The Commercial Finance Group negotiates, documents and completes large, debt-oriented financial transactions, including revolving credit and term loan transactions (both secured and unsecured), equipment lease transactions, sales of loan and leasing portfolios and asset securitization programs.

Regarding debt-oriented financing transactions, the firm has particular experience in structuring and documenting project financing, real estate construction and permanent financing, acquisition financing, the debt portion of leveraged buyouts, equipment leases and credit transactions that support offerings of commercial paper, either directly or indirectly through letters of credit. The group also designs and implements various off-balance asset securitization programs. The group has significant experience with the oil and gas industry, mining, traditional heavy industries, the communications industry and retailers.

While the group normally represents financial institutions as lenders or purchasers of debt instruments, it also represents borrowers in these types of transactions. Our services include: (1) counseling the client as to what that client needs from a transaction and what should be expected from that transaction; (2) structuring the transaction to meet the client's objectives; (3) negotiating with the other parties to the transaction; (4) documenting the transaction to protect the client's interest; and (5) seeing that the transaction closes in accordance with its terms.
