Representative Experience

  • Represented the secured lender as a seller of $189,000,000 in revolving and term loan facilities governed by LSTA participation agreements and involved the issuance of true sale opinions under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, rather than as typically given under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
  • Represented the borrowers in a pool of eight commercial mortgaged-backed securitization loans aggregating roughly $320,000,000. The transaction involved multi-family rental properties in a complex loan structure that included conversion of Ohio and Pennsylvania borrowers to special purpose bankruptcy remote Delaware limited liability companies, as well as the issuance of non-consolidation opinion letters for each of the eight loan transactions.
  • Represented the administrative agent for the senior secured lender group in the Chapter 11 case of a steel manufacturer that involved the orderly liquidation of the company’s major steel-making components and obtaining court approval for the $40,000,000 sale of the company’s primary assets over the objections of an alternative purchaser.
  • Represented the borrower in a $280,000,000 structured finance transaction in connection with the acquisition of a major office building in Chicago, Illinois that serves as the corporate headquarters of a Fortune 500 company in the food service industry.
