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.
