Corporate Finance and Restructuring
Glaser Weil’s Corporate attorneys are well versed in the area of corporate finance. Whether to finance an M&A transaction, or a company’s ongoing operations and expansions, our lawyers have structured and negotiated all forms of finance. Equally adept in dealing with large lending syndicates and single financing sources, our attorneys have the experience necessary to negotiate and secure for our clients their needed financing upon terms that allow businesses to grow and operations to flourish. Unfortunately, when the nation’s economy is hurting, there can be the need for a company to restructure its finances. Our lawyers have worked on some of the largest restructurings seen in the most recent economic downturn, allowing companies to continue to operate, offer their employees continued employment and their shareholders continued value. We know how to manage and oversee both the variety of specialists needed on complex restructurings, as well as address the issues that arise.
