Asset-based lending
Unsecured lending
Revolving credit
Mezzanine lending
Leasing
Receivables
Securitized lending
Real estate lending
Floor plan financing
Venture capital lending
Letters of credit and other credit enhancement transactions
Industrial revenue financing

We also regularly represent lenders in connection with workouts, liquidations, bankruptcies and corporate reorganizations and restructurings. Our firm has an experienced team of attorneys who work in bankruptcy and creditors' rights litigation and counseling.
