Financing, Refinancing and Debt Sales

A large team of highly specialized lawyers with ample experience in advising on complex financial transactions.

  • Corporate and acquisition finance: We advise on simple and syndicated financing, structured in one or more tranches, senior and subordinated, to carry out investment and development plans, as well as on financing for corporate acquisition transactions, such as LBOs, MBOs, MBIs, tender offers, and private equity finance in general.
  • Project and infrastructure finance (PPP/PFI models): We advise sponsors and banks that provide financing to structure national and international project finance transactions, particularly those in structures on a concessionary basis and those that have an investment grade. For these types of transactions, we advise on preparing and negotiating project contracts and on structuring financing alternatives and their guarantees, with the aim of optimizing taxes and other costs. We also advise on preparing public tender offers, monitoring the tender process, and negotiating with public authorities.
  • Real estate finance: We advise on structured real estate financing, both simple and syndicated, within the various models (promotion, construction, pre-operative, operation, leveraged with 100% LTV and with capital gains equity) secured by mortgages and pledges over credit rights, by both the financiers and the financed entity. This particularly concerns real estate such as shopping malls, offices, hotels, logistics centers, business parks and residential parks for various purposes, including build to lease, build to rent, flex living and student accommodation.
  • Asset finance: We advise on financing asset acquisition (e.g., high-speed trains and rail cars, machinery, engines, aircrafts, oil and gas tankers, medical equipment, hardware and software), both under direct loan and lease schemes.
  • Debt sales: We are experts in debt sales, regularly advising financial institutions, broker-dealers and investment funds on structuring and implementing sales and trades of shares in syndicate and bilateral loans (single names), performing and non-performing (NPL) loans, credit rights of all kinds and large portfolios of non-performing assets (NPLs, reperforming loans and real estate-owned assets or REOs).
  • Direct lending: We are pioneers and experts in advising funds and companies on all types of alternative financing transactions and on setting up direct lending platforms.
  • Debt refinancing: We advise companies and creditors on complex financial restructuring transactions, many of which involve several jurisdictions. Our advice includes analyzing the debt to be refinanced and the legal implications for debtors and creditors arising from these situations (including structuring the agreements and security packages required for the transactions).

The team has proven to be reliable, upright, with the utmost professionalism and human quality and empathy to get the deals done.
