CM Law’s partner-level attorneys help financial institutions, national and state banks and bank subsidiaries, credit funds, financial services corporations, and borrowers with a wide range of banking and financial services. We pair broad transactional experience with the responsiveness, relationship focus, technology-enabled efficiency, and client-minded service expected of Client Minded Advocates®.
Our Banking and Financial Services core services include:
Financial Institutions & Fintech
CM Law’s partner-level attorneys assist financial institutions with the regulatory, compliance, and business needs they face in today’s evolving landscape.
Our attorneys advise on regulatory compliance under applicable federal and state banking laws; card program documentation, electronic fund transfers, electronic banking, and financial privacy; treasury management, vendor, and outsourcing matters; employee benefit plan and fiduciary services; retirement product compliance; and the acquisition and disposition of financial institution business lines.
CM Law represents borrowers raising debt at the growth stage, including emerging technology companies throughout the debt funding lifecycle and sponsor-backed portfolio companies financing working capital, dividend recapitalizations, and acquisitions. Our attorneys have documented a high volume of these facilities and bring clients practical knowledge of how particular lenders approach particular structures.
Lending & Secured Transactions
CM Law’s partner-level attorneys collaborate across client service teams on routine and complex matters involving commercial lending, secured transactions, asset-based lending, bonds, privately placed debt, and warehouse lending.
Our commercial lending and secured transactions work includes commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans, asset-based loans, and other debt financing arrangements. These range from bilateral facilities to multi-lender syndicated credits, and from single-asset security to collateral packages spanning multiple asset classes and jurisdictions.
CM Law represents administrative agents, arrangers, lead lenders, syndicate members, participants, and direct lenders across leveraged credit, including broadly syndicated term loans, club financings, unitranche and first-lien/second-lien structures, and sponsor-backed acquisition financings.
We handle these transactions from commitment papers through closing and across the life of the credit, including credit agreements, intercreditor arrangements, security packages, amendments and waivers, and assignments and participations.
