The finance practice at Neal Gerber Eisenberg offers a full range of legal services to help both borrowers and lenders of secured and unsecured commercial loans close transactions quickly and efficiently. Among the core services our firm provides are the structuring, negotiation and documentation of new and refinanced credit facilities, the workouts of distressed credits, representation in foreclosure and pre-bankruptcy cases and certain banking regulatory matters.
Specifically, we have successfully concluded transactions involving:
- Asset-based financing (including commercial mortgage-backed securities and securitized loans, real estate-secured loans, equipment, inventory and receivables financing and lease financing)
- Structured financing
- Cash flow and acquisition facilities
- Syndicated credits
- Eurodollar multioption credit facilities
- Subordinate and mezzanine debt with associated warrants and equity coinvestments
- Letters of credit and bond financing (including industrial development, housing and IDFA bonds)
Our clients operate in many business sectors and have included the country’s second-largest publicly held REIT, as well as other major commercial real estate developers, owners and investment funds. The firm also represents several private developers on financing matters for joint ventures formed with the U.S. Armed Services for privatization and redevelopment of military family and other housing and related projects under the Residential Communities Initiative.
On the lender’s side, members of the group represent regional and national bank and non-bank lending institutions in the spectrum of commercial credit transactions, including complex, multilevel financing arrangements on behalf of agents that entail complex structuring, sophisticated documentation and extended negotiations. Our experience spans from middle-market financings, some of which include pre-negotiated loan documents to minimize cost and maximize efficiency, to large, syndicated credits.
In 2011, Chambers USA ranked the firm as a leading law firm in finance and U.S. News & World Report-Best Lawyers “Best Law Firms” survey ranked Neal Gerber Eisenberg within Banking and Finance Law in 2010.
