US corporate finance

Our US team is experienced in the full range of financing transactions, including senior secured debt financings, senior cash flow financings, subordinated and mezzanine debt, preferred equity structure and private equity capital financing.

Our international capability means we can help foreign borrowers to navigate the unfamiliar territory of the US financing markets. Additionally, as an offshoot of our wealth structuring and tax practices, we can assist private clients, both borrowers and lenders, in achieving financing arrangements tailored to their needs.

We collaborate closely with our mergers and acquisitions, tax, real estate and ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) lawyers, to provide a fully integrated service for clients.
