Perkins Coie attorneys regularly handle complex deals and offer efficient, cost-effective insight into the terms and structures our clients can and should seek for their financial transactions. We are familiar with a broad range of transaction types, including:
|
|
Our commercial finance and real estate finance attorneys have worked for significant lender and borrower clients and have substantial experience with large, complex transactions executed under significant time pressures, as well as mid-market-sized transactions. Our bankruptcy and restructuring attorneys have represented business debtors, secured and unsecured creditors, court-appointed trustees, indenture trustees and creditors’ committees. We also represent federally regulated financial institutions, pension fund administrators, asset-based lenders, trade creditors and public debt holders.
Experience has provided our attorneys with the business sense to understand that each party to a transaction wishes to preserve a working relationship with the other once the transaction has completed. In each transaction, we strive to conduct negotiations in a way that preserves each party's goodwill while securing the best possible deal for our clients.
