Lending, Leverage e Acquisition Financing

Chiomenti’s Lending, Leverage and Acquisition Financing Practice Area is the largest such team in Italy (c.30 professionals) and provides assistance to international and Italian clients – including private equity sponsors, investment banks, commercial banks, corporate borrowers, private credit funds (including “special situations” investment funds) and other specialised lenders.

 

The assistance provided by the Practice Area’s professionals spans a wide range of products and debt instruments such as syndicated loans and club deals involving Italian and international commercial banks, private placements of debt and “unitranche” facilities in favour of institutional investors and private credit providers to support ‘systemic’ M&A transactions on the Italian market (including public takeovers), investment-grade jumbo loans, corporate acquisition financings, sponsor-driven leveraged buy-outs and real estate and project financings.

 

The team also has a strong track record in specialised lending such as public-to-private financings, subsidised and government-backed loans, fund financings, NAV loans, loan-on-loan facilities and cross-over and distressed lending.

 

The Lending, Leverage and Acquisition Financing Practice Area closely collaborates with colleagues in other Practice Areas, including the Capital Markets – Public M&A, Restructuring and Special Situations, Debt Capital Markets, Project Finance and Structured Finance, Securitisation and Derivatives Practice Areas.
