About

Provided by Katten

Our active Private Credit practice — which closed over 550 transactions in 2019 alone — has seen virtually every combination of deal variations, so our clients can comfortably rely on our detailed, actionable counsel to help complete their transactions in all kinds of market environments.

High-volume capabilities
We work with many of the most active investors in the market — so we're experienced with the demands of competitive processes and fast-track circumstances. With more than 55 experienced attorneys dedicated to this area, we can easily handle your demands on your timetable.

For institutional clients with multiple simultaneous deals, we have an established platform and the experienced personnel to effectively handle steady high volume. Likewise, our deep bench is helpful to clients who find themselves competing for a single, quickly changing transaction.

When deals require specialized information from other practice areas, such as tax, corporate, insolvency/restructuring or ERISA matters, we seamlessly integrate our colleagues from the appropriate practice area into our team to develop customized strategies to meet your business objectives.
