Overview
Each unique commercial finance transaction requires thoughtful planning and counsel. We take a creative approach to representing institutional lenders and borrowers in sophisticated commercial loan transactions. Our attorneys have substantial experience representing banks and other commercial lenders and business borrowers with commercial loans, including documentation, negotiation, execution and post-closing follow-up.
Amundsen Davis’s commercial lending practice includes complex asset loans with routine and unusual collateral, cash-flow loans, line of credit facilities, letter of credit facilities, and mezzanine loans, with or without equity features. Our clients include many leading banks, national life insurance companies, residential, retail, office and medical facility real estate developers; and privately held and publicly traded companies with annual revenues from $1 to $250 million to name a few.
By understanding the business goals of our clients, we ensure that their experiences with the commercial finance process are smooth, efficient, and cost-effective from initial negotiations to closing and throughout the life of the credit facility. At the same time, we remain focused on managing and controlling the unique set of risks facing each of our clients. Our goal is simple — provide value throughout the commercial finance process by facilitating the orderly completion of transactions while at the same time mitigating our clients’ risks.
