Alston & Bird’s Finance Group continues to bolster its nationally recognized private credit practice with the addition of partner Adam Heasley in New York. Adam advises private credit lenders, borrowers, and sponsors in financing transactions with a focus on acquisition and recapitalization credit facilities and asset-based lending. He also guides his clients in structuring bespoke intercreditor arrangements and through complex workouts and restructurings.
“Adam presents a unique opportunity to enhance our corporate debt practice and expand our private credit lending offering,” said Mike Parisi, Alston & Bird partner and head of the corporate debt finance practice. “As the private credit market accelerates, Adam brings a significant portfolio of experience structuring transactions and will be a go-to resource in our New York office.”
Adam’s addition follows that of New York partners B.K. Lee, Heather Wyckoff, Sam Roh, David Grimes, and Patrick Rowe, who also joined Alston & Bird’s corporate practices in the last year.
“We’re very excited to welcome Adam, whose skillset will further enhance the capabilities and depth of our established Private Credit Team,” said Tara Castillo, Alston & Bird partner and co-head of the firm’s Finance Group. “Adam’s experience will add immediate value to our clients as they continue to embrace and deliver private credit solutions to financing needs.”
