Leveraged Finance
The Leveraged Finance team provides a full array of financing solutions for non-investment grade corporate clients and financial sponsors.

Typical transactions include tenders, exchanges and consents as part of large, broader corporate restructurings, such as asset sales, mergers, acquisitions and refinancings.
