COMMERCIAL LENDING
The Commercial Lending Practice Group at
Markus Williams Young & Zimmermann incorporates an experienced legal team
that works together with the firm’s Bankruptcy and Restructuring team to
help banks and other lending institutions work through the complex business
and legal issues that face them in structuring, negotiating, and documenting
a commercial loan transaction. We have represented lenders in a wide variety
of secured and unsecured transactions, including syndicated and
non-syndicated cash flow and asset-based loans, acquisition financings, and
capital expenditure and equipment loans, several involving cross border
collateralization issues.
