Access to capital is the lifeblood of any growing business. While many forms and sources of financing are available, each presents its own set of advantages, risks, and costs. Selecting and implementing the optimal financing strategy is critical.

McLane Middleton’s Commercial Finance team assists borrowers, investors, and lenders in sophisticated debt, equity, and real estate financing transactions. With decades of experience facilitating complex transactions across many industries, our work includes a wide range of short- and long-term financing transactions.

We routinely help clients choose among available financing options, including commercial and private borrowings, non-bank institutional debt transactions, public and private securities transactions, ESOP transactions, and negotiated venture capital financings.

We have significant experience drafting and negotiating loan and credit documents, interests rate swap agreements, participation and intercreditor agreements, subordination agreement and forbearance and loan amendment and modification agreements.

Our work does not end with structuring, drafting and negotiating a financing arrangement. After the deal is executed, we represent creditors seeking to protect their interests, as necessary, through foreclosure and repossession actions. On the borrower side, we offer counsel on how to protect themselves from these types of actions.
