We serve clients in the banking and financial industries with respect to secured and unsecured credit transactions, ranging from ordinary working capital lines of credit to financing for acquisitions of business and capital assets such as vessels, aircraft and rolling stock. We represent federal and state-chartered commercial banks, savings banks and financial institutions ranging in size from local independent banks and thrifts to large “super-regional” national/international banks and holding companies.

Our lending clients include major money center banks, non-U.S. banks, local commercial banks and savings institutions, finance companies, and investment banks.
