We are trusted advisers on complex structured finance and securitization transactions for issuers, investors, banks and private credit providers. We are known for designing and executing innovative capital solutions – including many first-of-their-kind and highly esoteric transactions – across digital infrastructure, whole business, media and entertainment royalties, mortgages, receivables, loan assets and emerging asset classes worldwide.

In the esoteric asset space, our team is a recognized leader in issuer-side digital infrastructure securitizations. Our dedicated data center ABS team has worked on many active programs globally, advising issuers, underwriters and investors across multiple jurisdictions. In fiber securitization, our lawyers structured the first deal in the market and have defined the documentation and structural standards now used across the industry. In the media/entertainment royalty and other emerging asset classes, we continue to represent a broad array of clients and prove to be a go-to firm on these high value, innovative transactions.

We are also widely recognized as innovators in structured warehouse finance, frequently designing bespoke facilities for investment banks, private credit funds, commercial banks and asset managers – many of which later become market benchmarks. These facilities are structured around numerous asset types, including mortgage loans, HELOCs, commercial loans (including middle market, broadly-syndicated and recurring revenue), ground leases, consumer solar loans, consumer home improvement loans, intellectual property licenses, and more.

We have a top-tier receivables securitization practice, advising clients that include money center banks, private equity funds and asset managers and electronic platform providers in accounts receivable securitization and supply chain finance structured facilities.

We are consistently selected to advise on the largest and most complex transactions, including Rule 144A offerings, Section 4(a)(2) note purchase programs, bank-funded facilities and hybrid structures. Our experience spans industries from digital infrastructure and media to real estate, education, wellness and consumer finance, and our global footprint allows us to deliver seamless cross-border execution.
