The Banking & Financial Transactions Practice Team is one of the most comprehensive and experienced practice groups at Lippes Mathias, aggregating bank and borrower-side expertise and providing an invaluable tool for lenders and borrowers alike. For commercial banks and other institutional lenders, including mezzanine funds and private lenders, our attorneys aid lenders in their transactional pursuits from the commitment phase through and after closing, including structuring loans, negotiating loan and security documents and managing risk. For businesses and other borrowers, our experience with all facets of financial transactions allows us to provide a unique perspective that is useful for loan selection, capital allocation and debt management. Because of our expertise, our attorneys are able to navigate the full spectrum of financial services to keep our clients on solid ground and grow their business in the future.

We assist borrowers in arranging, negotiating, and closing financing transactions of all sorts, including commercial loan transactions, real estate-secured transactions (including construction loans), syndicated loan transactions, and mezzanine loan transactions. Additionally, our attorneys assist clients with the negotiation of intercreditor and subordination agreements.  We also provide clients with a wide range of expertise on different collateral types covered by the Uniform Commercial Code or by other federal and state laws.  When needed, we also assist clients with all aspects of interest rate selection including interest rate swaps.
