As the area’s leading corporate and securities law firm for the technology and emerging growth sectors, Stradling has a deep understanding of the business of banks and other financial entities gleaned from more that 30 years of experience representing lenders and borrowers in banking, finance, and related commercial transactions. Our attorneys know not only the business of finance, but also the finance business.

In the business of finance, we advise banks, insurance companies, hedge funds, and other institutional lenders and borrowers on the full range of secured and unsecured financings. We have structured asset-based lending facilities, acquisition facilities, letter of credit and acceptance facilities, and many others. Structures include single- and multiple-borrower facilities, syndicated facilities, single- and multiple-facility transactions, domestic and cross-border loans, and multi-currency loans. Our work includes senior, secured, unsecured, mezzanine, and subordinated facilities. We negotiate and document loans to borrowers across virtually all sectors, from technology to retail to real estate, and have substantial experience with a variety of collateral, including intellectual property rights, computers and software, movable equipment, financial assets, real estate, manufacturing inventory, and accounts receivable. 

But we also assist banks and financial entities as businesses, with advice on regulatory compliance, mergers and acquisitions, tax issues, governance, employment, leases and real estate, risk and liability management (including directors and officers liability), intellectual property, data security and privacy issues, and formations, conversions and reorganizations.
