Clients rely on Sullivan's Finance Group for representation and advice in all aspects of sophisticated debt financing. Ranging from the term sheet/commitment phase through documentation to closing, as well as the workout and restructuring of credits and implementation of appropriate lender rights upon default, our broad experience enables us to represent clients efficiently and effectively in diverse transactions, including:
- Syndicated and single lender
- Secured and unsecured
- Senior and subordinated
- Single and multi-tranche
- Trade finance
- Export/import receivables financing
- Letter of credit facilities
- Forfaiting
- Trade credit insurance
We manage transactions across a wide range of financial market sectors on behalf of U.S. and international banks and other commercial lenders, institutional investors, underwriters and agents, other financial institutions, corporate borrowers and issuers, public and private companies, family offices and high-net worth individuals in secured and unsecured credit facilities. We also represent both dealers and end-users in derivative transactions as well as advising on swap regulatory issues under Dodd-Frank.
An important part of our representation of clients is working with the providers of the various classes of capital in a financing. This experience allows us to anticipate and effectively negotiate intercreditor issues within and between classes and to implement appropriate intercreditor rights in defaulted transactions.
Our Finance attorneys are also members of Sullivan's Capital Markets, Mergers & Acquisitions, Private Equity, International, Securitization, Tax, Real Estate and Bankruptcy & Restructuring Groups. The strong ties between these practices facilitate efficient structuring of transactions for our finance clients.
