Commercial Lending & Finance

Overview

In today’s dynamic market, capital comes in many forms, and therefore, so do the associated risks. Whether you're structuring senior debt, navigating a complex mezzanine debt, or securing your interest in a distressed asset, you need legal counsel that understands the nuance behind the numbers.

At Gutwein Law, we guide lenders, investors, and borrowers through the full spectrum of financing transactions. From traditional credit facilities to hybrid structures and special situations, we combine technical skill with business insight to protect your investment and advance your goals.

Commercial Lending & Finance Services

  1. We represent lenders and borrowers in structuring and negotiating senior debt facilities, including revolving credit lines, term loans, and asset-based lending, with a focus on enforceability, compliance, and collateral protection.

  2. Gutwein Law helps structure mezzanine financing deals that fill the capital gap between debt and equity, ensuring the proper balance of subordination, covenants, and return protections.

  3. We advise on preferred equity structures, such as negotiating investor rights, liquidation preferences, conversion features, and governance terms that align with long-term growth strategies.

  4. When companies run into barriers, we provide clear legal guidance through distressed financings, debt-to-equity conversions, forbearance agreements, and recapitalizations. We protect your interests—whether you're on the front line or the back end of the capital stack.
