The leveraged finance team at Hogan Lovells has extensive experience advising bilateral and syndicates/clubs of lenders around the world on senior and subordinated facilities. Our global network means we can cover deals across each of the world's key financial centres.
We have been at the forefront of the direct lending market since it was established in Europe, advising debt funds for many years on unitranche and other types of direct lending products (including first loss/second loss, second lien, and PIK), and banks providing working capital and other facilities alongside term debt.
Of course, our team also advises sponsors and corporate borrowers on the full range of leveraged transactions including take-privates, bids, leveraged recapitalizations, and leveraged buyouts.
With pragmatic and commercial advice we drive leveraged and acquisition finance transactions from start to close. Together, we help you stay ahead in this rapidly developing market.
