Secured Lending
One of LGP’s core transactional competences consists of structuring and documenting secured lending transactions on behalf of its financial institutional, fund, and investor lender clients that are secured by real estate, business assets and other types of collateral. Since these transactions can be very complex, our legal team helps its banking clients and other lending groups to navigate the law, advises them of potential obstacles, and works to ensure that the client’s interests are adequately protected. Our team diligently guides its lender client contacts by helping loan originators choose and create the loan and collateral structure that best fits their goals and business parameters. We then draft and negotiate transaction documents with borrower’s counsel, perform diligence that protects our client’s interests and work with all loan closing participants towards a successful loan closing and funding. By taking a practical approach to complex lending arrangements with a comprehensive understanding of the constantly evolving loan market and market standards, our attorneys add value to any type of loan or credit facility transaction.
