Special Situations

Edward represents companies, sponsors, lenders, and fiduciaries in high-stakes transactions and financings; as well as special situations involving financial distress, regulatory complexity, or operational disruption. Edward is frequently brought in where fiduciary duties, governance tensions, or regulatory scrutiny intersect with complex financial issues. Edward has worked across industries—including highly regulated sectors—and has experience protecting sponsor and board interests where they diverge from company management.

Edward advises debtors, secured and unsecured lenders, and official committees of unsecured creditors (UCCs) in both in-court restructurings and out-of-court workouts. He regularly leads clients through critical matters including distressed M&A, receiverships, Section 363 sales, forbearance arrangements, debtor in possession financings, and Chapter 11 proceedings. His ability to coordinate stakeholders, manage liability exposure, and preserve enterprise value makes him a go-to advisor when stability and speed are essential.

Regulatory & Transactional

Over the past 30 plus years, Edward has structured, negotiated, and closed tens of billions of dollars of transactions and financings. Edward is widely recognized for his regulatory depth and transactional fluency. He counsels clients on matters involving transactions, financings, regulatory approvals, government relations, and governmental funding. Edward operates across industries—including healthcare, manufacturing, energy, and real estate—delivering practical, business-focused solutions.

Edward has represented healthcare lenders, hospitals and health systems, academic medical centers, long-term care facilities, assisted living facilities, medical groups, surgery centers, dialysis centers, imaging centers, and multi-entity health care delivery systems.
