Faegre Baker Daniels handles structured finance matters for a highly diverse range of clients: senior lenders, agents and arrangers of syndicated and structured facilities, subordinated and mezzanine lenders, asset-based lenders, hedge funds and equity investors, and borrowers and issuers of debt products in the bank and capital markets.

We have advised leading banks in the central United States for more than 100 years, and our commercial finance lawyers regularly represent investment bankers, insurance companies, Indian tribes, retailers, finance companies, mortgage bankers, indenture trustees, and the whole spectrum of creditors and debtors.

Our clients appreciate the common sense approach we bring to solving complex legal problems as well as our experience representing both providers and users of the entire spectrum of credit products and services. All of our finance lawyers share a working knowledge of the life cycle of a business and a financing transaction, irrespective of their principal area of focus. Our finance practice integrates the front-end structuring, negotiation, and documentation practice with our back-end insolvency and bankruptcy practice. We believe this breadth of knowledge is essential for delivering superior service. An effective transaction lawyer must fully understand the risks of default and insolvency to properly document the financing, and a bankruptcy lawyer's effectiveness is enhanced by a practical understanding of financing practices and alternatives.

While our experience and service rival our competitors on the coasts, our staffing and fee structure permit us the luxury of having senior, experienced lawyers working directly on client matters—not just overseeing junior attorneys.
