Smith Anderson is a leading North Carolina law firm for borrower and issuer representation in corporate and syndicated finance. Our lawyers help boards and management consider and structure financing alternatives in rapidly changing markets, and we have been involved in many of the largest debt finance transactions for companies in North Carolina and the Research Triangle region. Over the past five years, we have worked with syndicated loan financings and high-yield bond transactions for leveraged buyouts, mergers, asset-based loans (ABL), acquisition finance, working capital and dividend recaps totaling in excess of $15 billion.
We are proud of our record of successfully representing clients in their completion of leveraged finance transactions with lead arrangers, initial purchasers and underwriters. Our clients operate in industries which include manufacturing, distribution, life sciences, health care, technology, telecommunications, media and energy. We bring value to their leveraged finance transactions based on our experience, knowledge of the debt markets and commitment to knowing our clients well and understanding their businesses.
Since 2011, Smith Anderson has been one of the only North Carolina-based law firms to place in multiple years among the top firms in the nation in law firm league tables published by Thomson Reuters LPC. Smith Anderson has placed in the league tables for volume and number of borrower-side leveraged transactions.
