Print bio

Ron represents the corporate trust departments of banking institutions and trust companies in both domestic and cross-border debt capital market transactions, defaulted debt restructurings, and related litigation.

Ronald T. Sarubbi is the New York office managing partner and the former chair of the firm's Financial Transactions practice. He handles financial matters for bank and trust company clients in their roles as indenture trustee, collateral agent, administrative agent, escrow agent, custodian, securities intermediary, and other agency capacities.

Ron's work includes unsecured debt transactions and an array of structured finance transactions, including commercial paper conduits and collateralized loan obligations. He also advises on securitized asset-backed securities, such as shipping and aircraft financings; residential mortgage-backed security (RMBS) and commercial mortgage-backed security transactions; esoteric assets; credit card and student loan debt; solar and other alternative energy projects; oil, gas, and electric projects; and debt streams from leasing royalties. Ron represents Cayman SPV Issuers in risk mitigation matters, including winddowns and dissolutions.

In his practice, Ron reviews and negotiates contracts for corporate and municipal debt, escrow, custody and agency agreements, and sophisticated and novel types of secured project financings and structured finance transactions. These deals typically involve companies, hedge funds, investment banks, and projects located in the United States and in emerging markets throughout Latin America and Asia. They have involved the review and negotiation of thousands of indentures, agency agreements, and custody/control agreements.

Ron has also worked with secured and unsecured creditors and disbursing agents in numerous defaulted debt restructurings. He has advised indenture trustees in complex commercial litigation, including breaches of representations and warranties and the enforcement of loan repurchases by sponsors and originators in RMBS.

In preparation for the 2021 LIBOR phaseout, he advised issuers, trustees, and asset managers on risk mitigation and compliance issues.
